EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Federal Theatre Project's production of "A 3 Ring Circus" held at the Newark Armory in New Jersey during the 1930s. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), was established in 1935 to preserve and develop the skills of theater workers, provide employment, and bring live theatrical performances to communities across the United States, many of which had never experienced such entertainment before. The image features an array of performers and entertainers, including acrobats, clowns, and musicians, all gathered under the grand circus tent. The vibrant colors and bold lettering of the playbill add to the excitement and energy of the scene. The 50-piece band, proudly sponsored by the 113 Infantry N.G.N.J., adds to the lively atmosphere. The performers in this photograph embody the spirit of the New Deal era, a time of political and social change in America. Their faces, adorned with makeup and face paint, express the joy and wonder that live theater and circus performances brought to audiences during this period. This photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the United States and the importance of the arts in shaping our collective history.
