EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a scene from the Federal Theatre Project's production of Mikado, a classic Gilbert and Sullivan opera, held in New York City during the 1930s. The image, sponsored by the Home Thrift Association, features an enticing playbill design for the six-day festival held at the York Avenue Lot. The Federal Theatre Project, established in 1935 under the U.S. Works Progress Administration, aimed to preserve and develop theater skills, re-employ workers on public relief, and bring live theatrical performances to thousands of Americans who had never experienced it before. The playbill showcases Mikado, along with the operas Pinafore and Trial by Jury, and the operetta Pirates of Penzance. Sir Arthur Sullivan and Sir William Schwenk Gilbert, the renowned creators of these works, are prominently displayed. The graphic design of the poster is a testament to the era's artistic sensibilities, with elegant lettering and a monochrome color palette. The image transports us back to a time when the arts were a vital part of the political and cultural landscape, and the New Deal's initiatives played a crucial role in preserving and promoting them. This piece of heritage art is a reminder of the enduring power of live performance and the importance of government support for the arts.
