EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Musical Satire of Progress and Politics in the Great Depression "Ready! Aim! Fire!" is a merry musical satire produced by the Federal Theatre Project during the Great Depression, showcased at the Hollywood Playhouse in 1937. This poster, a vibrant testament to the era's artistic and political climate, depicts an explosion of musical notes cascading from a globe, symbolizing the transformative power of art and creativity in turbulent times. The Federal Theatre Project, a New Deal initiative, was established to provide employment opportunities for unemployed actors, writers, and technicians. "Ready! Aim! Fire!" was one of the many groundbreaking works produced under this progressive administration. The musical was a satire that poked fun at the political landscape of the time, using humor to address the complexities of social and economic progress. The poster's design is a visual representation of the musical's themes. The globe, a symbol of the world, is engulfed in a whirlwind of musical notes. This image conveys the idea that music, like a powerful force, can bring about change and progress. The title of the musical, "Ready! Aim! Fire!" suggests a call to action, urging the audience to engage with the issues presented in the show. "Ready! Aim! Fire!" was a unique and daring production that used satire to tackle the complexities of the political and social landscape during the Great Depression. This poster serves as a reminder of the power of art to provoke thought, inspire change, and bring people together during challenging times.
