| | The Federal Theatre Project was the largest and most ambitious effort mounted by the Federal Government to organize and produce theatre events. It was an effort of the administration of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt to provide work for unemployed professionals in the theater during the Great Depression which followed the stock market crash of October 1929. The Federal Theatre Project was one of four (subsequently five) arts-related projects called Federal Project Number One, established under the Works Progress Administration (WPA) during Roosevelt`s first term. The WPA was created through Executive Order No. 7034 issued on May 6, 1935.
The FTP was administered from Washington, D. C., but its many companies stretched the full breadth of the Nation. It functioned from 1935 to 1939 when its funding was terminated. In that brief period, it was responsible for some of the most innovative staging of its time. Dimensions are 10 x 8 inches. Photo #003
