Smilin' Through, Miami, 1936: A Vintage Playbill from the Federal Theatre Project This playbill announces the presentation of the play "Smilin' Through" by the Federal Theatre Project in Miami, Florida, in 1936. 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 theater workers, and bring live theatrical performances to communities across the United States that had never before experienced them. The playbill's design is a testament to the era's cultural and artistic heritage. The bold, colorful graphic elements and lettering showcase the play's title and production information. The play's title, "Smilin' Through," is prominently displayed in a cheerful, cursive script, while the subtitle, "A Drama in Three Acts by Margaret A. Edwards," is neatly arranged below. The Federal Theatre Project's logo and the location, "Miami, Florida," are also featured. The political and historical significance of this playbill lies in its connection to the New Deal era and the WPA's efforts to provide employment opportunities and cultural enrichment during the Great Depression. The Federal Theatre Project was a crucial component of the WPA's broader mission to uplift the country through various forms of artistic expression and community engagement. This vintage playbill is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the cultural events and artistic trends of the 1930s in America. Its vibrant colors and evocative design serve as a reminder of the power of the arts to inspire, entertain, and bring people together, even in the most challenging of times.
