Everyman, Los Angeles, 1938: A Vintage Poster from the Federal Theatre Project This poster invites us to an "Out-Door Theatre" production of "Everyman" at the "Protestant Cathedral of St. Alban's Church...Hollywood." The Federal Theatre Project, established in 1935 as part of the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA), aimed to conserve and develop theater skills, re-employ workers on public relief, and bring live theatrical performances to thousands of Americans who had never before experienced this cultural delight. The poster, a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the 1930s, showcases bold graphic design elements. The title "Everyman" is written in striking, colorful lettering, evoking a sense of drama and intrigue. The background, a simple yet effective composition of a theatrical stage, further emphasizes the performing arts theme. The Federal Theatre Project, a significant part of the New Deal's cultural initiatives, provided employment opportunities during the Great Depression and contributed to the country's artistic and cultural landscape. This poster, created by an unknown artist, is a vibrant reminder of the political and artistic significance of this era. The Library of Congress holds this precious piece of history, a testament to the power of art and its ability to uplift and inspire, even in the most challenging of times. The poster's text, "Everyman," invites us to reflect on the universal themes of the human condition and the transformative power of live performance. This vintage poster, a beautiful blend of politics, art, and entertainment, continues to captivate and inspire us, reminding us of the importance of preserving our cultural heritage.
