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.
