EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print depicts a scene from the 1937 production of "Robin Hood," a comic opera by the renowned American composer Reginald De Koven, at the Emery Theatre in Cincinnati. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA) created in 1935, brought this theatrical masterpiece to life, aiming to conserve and develop theater skills, re-employ artists on public relief, and make live performances accessible to thousands of Americans who had never before experienced them. The WPA's New Deal program, a significant cultural event during the 1930s, is reflected in this vibrant playbill design. The text is adorned with intricate lettering and a colorful Robin Hood illustration, showcasing the artistic talent and creativity of the era. The mythical figure of Robin Hood, a beloved character from English folklore, comes to life on stage, transporting audiences to a world of adventure and merriment. This photograph serves as a testament to the rich heritage of American arts and entertainment during the 20th century, a time when the Federal Theatre Project played a crucial role in preserving and promoting the performing arts in the United States. The legacy of this political and cultural movement continues to inspire and captivate audiences today, reminding us of the power of art to bring communities together and uplift the human spirit.
