About this poster:
This vintage poster advertises the Federal Theatre Project's production of "No More Peace," a musical satire by Ernst Toller, with music by Leslie Loth and lyrics by W.H. Auden. The poster announces performances at the Bronx Winter Garden, located at 1874 Washington Avenue in the Bronx, on Tuesday, November 9th, with admission prices of 40 cents for adults and 15 cents for children.
The Federal Theatre Project (FTP) was a component of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), established during the Great Depression. Its mission was to provide employment for unemployed theater professionals, including actors, directors, playwrights, and stage technicians. Beyond providing jobs, the FTP aimed to bring affordable and accessible theater to a broad audience across the United States. The project was active from 1935 to 1939 and staged a wide variety of productions, ranging from classic plays to original works, often addressing social and political issues of the time.
The Bronx Winter Garden, featured on the poster, was a theatre located in the Bronx borough of New York City. Productions staged at the Bronx Winter Garden catered to the local community. The Federal Theatre Project's presence there provided both entertainment and economic relief during the Depression era.
