The Sun Rises in the West
EDITORS COMMENTS
was a thought-provoking and poignant theatrical production presented by the Southwest Theatre Unit as part of the Federal Theatre Project between 1936 and 1941. This photograph captures the essence of the play's themes of progress, decay, and the passage of time. The image on the poster features a barren and neglected farm scene, with a plow lying among weeds and a dilapidated farm building in the background. The sun, an unusual sight in the west, is depicted as a large, fiery orb, casting long shadows over the desolate landscape. This striking visual representation of the sun's unusual position symbolizes the unconventional and thought-provoking nature of the play itself. The Southwest Theatre Unit, a part of the Federal Theatre Project, was responsible for producing and writing this groundbreaking work. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), was established to provide employment opportunities in the arts during the Great Depression. The project aimed to bring live theatre to communities across the country, making it accessible to a wide audience. "The Sun Rises in the West" was a unique and powerful contribution to the Federal Theatre Project's mission. The play explored the impact of progress on rural communities and the human spirit, resonating deeply with audiences during a time of great social and economic upheaval. The image on this poster serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring themes and messages of this important work. This poster, with its evocative imagery and thought-provoking message, is a testament to the power of the arts to inspire, challenge, and provoke reflection. It stands as a reminder of the important role that the Federal Theatre Project and the Southwest Theatre Unit played in bringing innovative and thought-provoking theatre to communities across America during a time of great need.
