Staging the People : Community and Identity in the Federal Theatre Project PDF
by Elizabeth A. Osborne
Part of the Palgrave Studies in Theatre and Performance History series
Description
The Federal Theatre Project stands alone as the only national theatre in the history of the United States.
This study re-imagines this vital moment in American history, considering the Federal Theatre Project on its own terms - as a "federation of theatres" designed to stimulate new audiences and create locally-relevant theatre during the turbulent 1930s.
It integrates a wealth of previously undiscovered archival materials with cultural history, delving into regional activities in Chicago, Boston, Portland, Atlanta, and Birmingham, as well as tours of refugee camps and Civilian Conservation Corps Divisions.
For a brief, exhilarating moment, the Federal Theatre Project created a democratic theatre that staged the American people.
