The Shepherd in the Distance
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and intriguing playbill poster from the Federal Theatre Project in Cleveland, Ohio, dated 1937. The creator of this stunning work remains unknown, but its historical significance is undeniable. During the Great Depression, the Federal Theatre Project (FTP), an initiative of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), was established in 1935 to revitalize and preserve the American theatre industry. The FTP aimed to provide employment for theatre workers, as well as to bring live theatrical performances to communities across the United States that had previously been deprived of such cultural experiences. This poster advertises "The Shepherd in the Distance," a production presented by the Federal Theatre for Youth, a division of the Federal Theatre Project. The image features a shepherd in the foreground, standing proudly with a sword in hand, while in the background, a group of horses and horses pull a cart, with a distant, ominous figure brandishing swords. The title of the play is prominently displayed at the top of the poster, with the words "The Federal Theatre Project" and "Cleveland, Ohio" appearing below. The design of the poster is a beautiful example of the graphic arts of the 1930s. The use of bold, colorful lettering and the incorporation of swords and horses evoke a sense of adventure and drama, making it an enticing advertisement for the play. The poster is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the United States during the New Deal era and serves as a reminder of the importance of the arts in bringing communities together. This poster is a valuable addition to any collection of American history, political, or performing arts, and is a testament to the enduring power of the arts to inspire and captivate audiences. The Shepherd in the Distance may be a production from the past, but its legacy continues to resonate with us today.
