EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the spirit of the holiday season as portrayed in a 1937 production of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" in Cleveland, Ohio. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in the United States, brought live theatre to thousands of Americans who had never before experienced it. In this image, we see the Federal Theatre for Youth's presentation of the classic tale, with the tagline "The Works Progress Administration in Ohio Presents." The Art Deco-inspired design of the playbill showcases the cultural and political climate of the 1930s. The bold lettering and color palette evoke a sense of excitement and wonder, drawing the audience in to the magical world of Ebenezer Scrooge and his ghostly visitors. This poster serves as a testament to the power of the arts to uplift and inspire, even during challenging economic times. The New Deal's Federal Theatre Project not only provided employment opportunities for theatre workers, but also brought the joy of live performance to communities across the country.
