EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases a playbill for the Federal Theatre Project's production of "Help Yourself" in Holyoke, Massachusetts, during the 1930s. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), was established in 1935 to preserve and develop theater skills, re-employ theater workers, and bring live theatrical performances to communities across the United States that had previously been deprived of such cultural experiences. The production of "Help Yourself" was written by Paul Vulpius and staged by Willard Dashiell. The music for the show was composed by the Federal Music Project, another component of the WPA. The playbill features a bold, monochrome design by an unknown graphic designer, with lettering by Ladislas Fodor or Lakatos Ladislaus, as indicated by the signature at the bottom. The design showcases the title of the play in large, playful letters, with the subtitle "A Rollicking Farce" and the names of the creators and performers below. The photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the United States during the New Deal era. The playbill's design and text reflect the political and artistic climate of the time, as well as the importance of the Federal Theatre Project in making live theater accessible to a wider audience. This photograph is a testament to the power of the arts to bring people together and provide entertainment and joy during challenging times.
