EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Patience" and dating back to the 1930s, showcases a playbill from a theatrical production staged in New York during the era of the Federal Theatre Project. Established in 1935 as part of the New Deal's Works Progress Administration, the Federal Theatre Project aimed to conserve and develop theater skills, re-employ workers on public relief, and bring live performances to communities across the United States, including those who had never before experienced such entertainment. The playbill advertises a production of "Patience," an operetta by Sir Arthur Sullivan and Sir William Schwenk Gilbert. Known for their collaborations on works such as "H.M.S. Pinafore" and "The Mikado," the duo's "Patience" premiered in 1881 and remains a beloved classic in the world of opera and musical theater. The design of the playbill is simple yet elegant, with navy blue and cream color tones dominating the text. The title "Patience" is prominently displayed in large, capital letters, while the subtitle "An Operetta in Three Acts" appears below in smaller text. The production information is presented in a clear, easy-to-read format, with the location, dates, and cast listed. The Federal Theatre Project's impact on American theater and arts during the 1930s is significant, and this playbill serves as a testament to the organization's mission to bring high-quality theatrical experiences to communities across the country. The legacy of "Patience" and the collaborative work of Sullivan and Gilbert continues to inspire and entertain audiences to this day.
