Federal Theatre Project in the News

With the barrage of news about recent canceled theater festivals, shortened seasons, and rounds of layoffs at some of the biggest theater institutions in the country, the American theater seems to be in a crisis in the post-lockdown world. In his latest opinion piece for the New York Times, culture writer Isaac Butler suggests looking to the Federal Theatre Project as a potential model to help turn things around.

Similarly, with both the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA on strike against the major Hollywood studios, writer Einav Rabinovitch-Fox examines the long history of organized labor in the entertainment industry for her latest piece in the Washington Post. In it, she mentions pro-union plays like The Cradle Will Rock and Stevedore, originally produced for the Federal Theatre Project. It's a fascinating look at the theater's role in advancing the cause of labor in America.

Want to learn more about the Federal Theatre Project and how it might inspire change in our industry today? Join us this August for The Nobodies Who Were Everybody!
