EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases an announcement for a theatrical production of "Captain Brassbound's Conversion" by George Bernard Shaw, held at the Hollywood Playhouse in Los Angeles during 1937. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), sponsored this cultural event as part of its mission to conserve and develop theater skills, re-employ theater workers, and bring live performances to communities across the United States, many of whom had never experienced such art before. The black and white image features intricately designed lettering, boldly announcing the title of the play and the sponsoring organization, Trinity Episcopal Church. The text encourages the public to secure tickets through various channels, including parish organization members, the Rector, Wardens, or by contacting the Hollywood Playhouse directly. The WPA's Division of the Federal Theatre Project is also identified as the presenter of this production. This photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the 1930s in America, a time when the New Deal's arts programs played a significant role in fostering community engagement and providing employment opportunities during the Great Depression. The textured, monochrome design of the playbill adds to its historical significance, making it an essential piece of American theater history.
