EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the entrance to the Greek Open Air Theatre in Griffith Park, Los Angeles during the 1930s, where the Federal Theatre Project presented the enchanting production of "Arabian Nights Fantasy." The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), was established in 1935 to preserve and develop theatre skills, re-employ theatre workers, and bring live theatrical performances to thousands of Americans who had never experienced it before. The playbill for "Arabian Nights Fantasy: The Teller of Tales" is displayed prominently in the photograph. The design features a stylized oil lamp, reminiscent of the magical lamps from the classic tales in The Book of One Thousand and One Nights. The lamp is surrounded by intricate Arabesque patterns and the title of the play is written in elegant script lettering. The lamp's flame casts a warm, inviting glow over the entrance, signaling the magical world of stories that awaited audiences inside. The Greek Open Air Theatre, with its stunning setting and historic architecture, was the perfect venue for this fantastical production. The theatre's natural amphitheater design, combined with the use of dramatic lighting, would have created an immersive and magical atmosphere for the audience. The Federal Theatre Project's production of "Arabian Nights Fantasy" was a cultural event that brought the beauty and wonder of the Middle Eastern tales to life for American audiences during the Depression era. This photograph is a testament to the power of the arts to transport and inspire, even in the most challenging of times. It is a reminder of the important role that the Federal Theatre Project played in preserving and promoting the performing arts during the New Deal era in the United States.
