Little Jessie James 1934 Federal Theater Project Reproduction Poster

About this poster:

This vintage poster advertises a performance of "Little Jessie James" presented by the Federal Theatre Project at the Jewish Community Center in Portchester, NY. The poster announces the event details, including the date, Sunday evening, September 27th, and the time, 8:30 PM. Admission to the musical, featuring original music, songs, and dances, was 40 cents.

The Federal Theatre Project (FTP) was a New Deal program established in 1935 as part of the Works Progress Administration (WPA). Its purpose was to employ out-of-work actors, directors, playwrights, and other theater professionals during the Great Depression. The FTP aimed to provide free or low-cost theater to a wide audience, producing a diverse range of plays, from classics to experimental works. The Federal Theatre Project provided jobs and entertainment during a difficult time.

Little Jessie James is a musical comedy that premiered on Broadway in 1923. Written by Harlan Thompson with music by Harry Archer, the show revolves around the story of a young boy who pretends to be a notorious outlaw. This poster advertises a Federal Theatre Project production in 1934.

Our reproduction WPA Federal Theatre Project posters capture the vibrant energy and creative spirit of their time. This classic piece celebrates the transformative power of live performance and the ingenuity of American theatre during challenging times. Professionally printed by Lumber City Prints on premium quality 230gsm Matte Photo Paper, this poster is a stunning tribute to vintage travel and artful design.
