Administration Comedy Federal Lynn Progress Project Road Side South West Unit

EDITORS COMMENTS
This poster announces the presentation of Lynn Riggs' lusty American comedy "Roadside" by the Southwest Theatre Unit of the Federal Theatre Project at the Musart Theatre in Los Angeles. Dating between 1936 and 1941, this poster is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Federal Theatre Project, an essential component of the New Deal's Works Progress Administration (WPA). The Federal Theatre Project, established in 1935, was a progressive initiative under the New Deal administration, aimed at providing employment opportunities for unemployed actors, writers, and technicians in the theatre industry. The Southwest Theatre Unit, one of the many regional units of the Federal Theatre Project, was dedicated to producing and promoting American theatre in the Southwestern United States. The poster's design is a vibrant and eye-catching representation of the spirit of the production. The title of the play, "Roadside," is prominently displayed in bold, red letters, with the subtitle, "A Comedy by Lynn Riggs," in smaller text below. The image of a smiling couple, dressed in the fashion of the time, is depicted in the foreground, with a scenic backdrop of a rural roadside. The overall effect is one of warmth, humor, and a sense of community, inviting audiences to come and enjoy an evening of American theatre. This poster is not only a valuable historical artifact, but also a reminder of the important role that the Federal Theatre Project played in promoting American culture and providing employment during the Great Depression. The Southwest Theatre Unit's production of "Roadside" at the Musart Theatre is a shining example of the progress and innovation that emerged from this groundbreaking initiative.
