EDITORS COMMENTS
One Sunday Afternoon, Jacksonville, FL, 1938: A Glimpse into the Past through the Federal Theatre Project's "One Sunday Afternoon" Playbill Step back in time to a sunny Sunday afternoon in 1938, in the vibrant city of Jacksonville, Florida. This photograph showcases a playbill for the Federal Theatre Project's production of "One Sunday Afternoon." Established by the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 1935, the Federal Theatre Project aimed to conserve and develop theater skills, re-employ workers on public relief, and bring live theatrical performances to thousands of Americans who had never experienced them before. The playbill, adorned with bold, colorful graphic design, proudly announces "Florida Federal Theatre Presents - 'One Sunday Afternoon.'" The text is accompanied by a simple yet striking image of a playhouse, with the words "Theatre" and "Playhouse" artfully arranged in elegant, cursive lettering. The political undertones of the New Deal era are subtly conveyed through the use of the term "Federal," emphasizing the government's role in supporting the arts during a time of economic hardship. This intriguing artifact is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the United States during the 1930s. The Federal Theatre Project's mission to make the performing arts accessible to all Americans, regardless of their socioeconomic background, paved the way for a more diverse and inclusive arts scene. Today, this playbill serves as a reminder of the power of art to bring people together and uplift communities, even during the most challenging of times.
