Judgment Day" by Elmer Rice: A Powerful Drama of Social Justice Presented by the Federal Theatre Project This striking poster announces the presentation of Elmer Rice's "Judgment Day" by the Federal Theatre Project at the Mayan Theatre in 1938. The image on the poster features half of a scale, symbolizing the balance of justice, with the title of the play and the name of the playwright, Elmer Rice, prominently displayed. Rice was a prominent American playwright, known for his socially conscious and politically charged works. "Judgment Day" was one of his most notable plays, exploring themes of social justice, morality, and the human condition. The play follows a group of factory workers who, after being wrongfully fired, decide to take matters into their own hands and stage a revolution. The Federal Theatre Project, a New Deal program established in 1935, was dedicated to making live theatre accessible to the American public. This poster marks the Project's presentation of "Judgment Day," which was part of their efforts to bring important and thought-provoking works to the stage. The poster's design is simple yet effective, with bold typography and a striking visual symbol of justice. It reflects the progressive spirit of the time and the commitment of the Federal Theatre Project to producing works that would challenge and inspire audiences. Today, "Judgment Day" remains a powerful and relevant work, reflecting the ongoing struggle for social justice and the importance of standing up for what is right. This poster is a testament to the enduring impact of Rice's work and the vital role of the Federal Theatre Project in American cultural history.
