The Singing and the Gold, New York, 1937: A Vintage Playbill from the Federal Theatre Project The Federal Theatre Project, established in 1935 as part of the New Deal's Works Progress Administration (WPA), aimed to conserve and develop the skills of theater workers, re-employ them on public relief, and bring live theatrical performances to thousands of Americans who had never before experienced them. One of the many productions mounted by this groundbreaking initiative was "The Singing and the Gold," a play staged at the Lafayette Theatre in Harlem, New York. This playbill, dated 1937, announces the presentation of "The Singing and the Gold," a "Negro Folk Play in Three Acts," with music and lyrics by Howard Koch and a cast that included Jamaican and Jewish actors. The play, set in Jamaica, explored themes of politics, religion, and the struggles of the working class. The golden lettering and Western script typeface of the title, accompanied by a striking image of a vocalist in profile, evoke the allure and excitement of the theatrical experience. The playbill also features the logo of the Federal Theatre Project and the location of the performance, further emphasizing the historical and cultural significance of this unique artifact. As a testament to the rich heritage of American arts and the transformative power of the New Deal, this vintage playbill for "The Singing and the Gold" stands as a reminder of the enduring impact of public initiatives on the arts and entertainment landscape of the United States.
