EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the promotional poster for "The Devil of Pisa," a theatrical production presented by the Bridgeport Civic Theatre as part of the Federal Theatre Project in Bridgeport, Connecticut, in 1937. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA), was established in 1935 to preserve and develop the skills of theater workers, provide employment for them on public relief, and bring live theater to communities across the United States that had previously been deprived of such cultural experiences. The poster, in vibrant colors and bold lettering, advertises "Intrigue in Italy," a play that promises to transport audiences to the old world charm of Italy. The title, "The Devil of Pisa," is written in dramatic, sweeping script, with the subtitle "A Play in Three Acts" and the production's dates and location neatly outlined below. The image of a menacing devil, with fiery eyes and horns, adds an intriguing and ominous touch to the poster, hinting at the excitement and suspense that awaited theatergoers. The Federal Theatre Project was an essential component of the New Deal, a series of programs and projects initiated by the U.S. government in response to the Great Depression. The project's impact on American arts and culture was profound, providing a platform for countless artists, writers, and performers to showcase their talents and bring joy and inspiration to millions of people during a time of great need. This poster, a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the United States, is a reminder of the power of the arts to uplift and entertain, even in the most challenging of times.
