About this poster:
This poster advertises a production of Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland" by the Federal Theatre, a program of the Works Progress Administration (WPA). The play was dramatized by Dean Collins and featured songs, dances, and original music. Performances were scheduled for December matinees and evenings, with specific dates listed on the poster. Adults could attend for 25 cents, while children's tickets were priced at 10 cents.
The Federal Theatre Project (FTP) was established in 1935 as part of the New Deal during the Great Depression. It aimed to provide employment for unemployed theater professionals, including actors, directors, writers, and stage technicians. The FTP sought to create accessible and affordable theatrical productions for a wide audience across the United States. By establishing local theaters and touring companies, the FTP brought live performances to communities that had limited or no access to professional theater. The Federal Theatre Project was discontinued in 1939.
The Oregon WPA Theatre, located at 614 S.W. II Ave. near Alder, was part of the Federal Theatre Project. It operated from 1935 to 1939, providing theatrical entertainment to the local community during the Great Depression.
