EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating playbill from the Federal Theatre Project in the 1930s, invites audiences to experience the Carolina Mountain Drama of the same name. Created during the New Deal era by the United States Work Progress Administration (WPA) in 1935, the Federal Theatre Project aimed to conserve and develop theater skills, re-employ artists, and bring live theatrical performances to thousands of Americans who had never before had the opportunity to attend a show. This evocative playbill, featuring a woman with a gun in hand and a pipe clenched between her teeth, seated on a porch as the sun begins to rise over the mountains, advertises "Sun Up" by Lula Vollmer, directed by Henry Stillman. The design showcases the rising sun, with intricate lettering and a celestial representation of the solar system, emphasizing the connection between the natural world and the theatrical performance. The Federal Theatre Project's "Sun Up" was a cultural event that brought together people from all walks of life to enjoy a live stage show, providing a momentary escape from the political and economic challenges of the time. This playbill serves as a testament to the power of the arts to inspire, entertain, and unite, even in the most trying of times. The Federal Theatre Project's "Sun Up" is a fascinating glimpse into America's cultural heritage, showcasing the rich history of the performing arts and the enduring appeal of live theater. This image, with its intricate design and powerful imagery, is a reminder of the transformative power of art and the importance of preserving our cultural history.
