To the Ladies,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a satirical comedy written by George S. Kaufman and Marc Connelly, was first produced on Broadway in 1936, poking fun at the political landscape of the time. This poster showcases the Federal Theatre Project's presentation of the play at the Mason Opera House in 1938. The design of the poster is simple yet striking, with bold, black typography and a vibrant red background. The title of the play, "To the Ladies," is written in large, decorative letters at the top, while the names of the authors, Kaufman and Connelly, are featured below in smaller font. The image of a woman, dressed in a fashionable 1930s outfit and holding a fan, is positioned in the center. Her expression suggests amusement, as if she is privy to a secret. The Progress Administration logo, featuring a raised arm and a hammer and sickle, is prominently displayed at the bottom left corner of the poster. This logo signifies the play's association with the Federal Theatre Project, which was part of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), a New Deal program aimed at providing employment opportunities for artists and writers during the Great Depression. The satirical nature of "To the Ladies" is hinted at by the tagline at the bottom of the poster, which reads, "A Comedy of the Administration." The play's biting commentary on politics and society would have resonated with audiences during this time of social and political upheaval. The Federal Theatre Project's presentation of the play at the Mason Opera House would have provided an accessible and affordable way for the community to engage with thought-provoking and entertaining works of art. This poster is a fascinating snapshot of the past, showcasing the collaborative efforts of the Federal Theatre Project and the enduring appeal of satirical comedy. It serves as a reminder of the power of art to entertain, provoke thought, and bring people together during times of change and uncertainty.
