EDITORS COMMENTS
Streamline Shakespeare" - an intriguing and captivating playbill design from the 1930s, created for a production of the Federal Theatre Project at Roosevelt High School Auditorium. 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 on public relief, and bring live theatrical performances to thousands of Americans who had never before experienced this cultural event. This striking playbill, titled "Streamline Shakespeare," showcases a bold, colorful, and modern graphic design that perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the New Deal era. The text, featuring clean lines and streamlined lettering, is arranged in an engaging and visually appealing way, with the title "Streamline Shakespeare" prominently displayed at the top. The design also includes a simple yet effective illustration of a quill pen and an open book, symbolizing the written word and the literary masterpiece that lies within. The playbill's background is a rich, deep blue, providing a striking contrast to the bright white text and illustrations. The overall effect is a dynamic and eye-catching design that would have certainly drawn attention to the production and enticed potential audience members to attend. This "Streamline Shakespeare" playbill is a testament to the enduring power of the arts, even during challenging economic times. It serves as a reminder of the important role that the Federal Theatre Project and other New Deal initiatives played in preserving and promoting cultural heritage in America during the 1930s.
