- Biography
- Hallie Flanagan was the national director of the Federal Theatre Project; taught and directed at Grinnell and Smith College and founded the Vassar Experimental Theatre. She was born in 1890 (some sources say 1889) in Redfield, South Dakota and grew up in Grinnell, Iowa where she attended Grinnell College. She studied with George Pierce Baker at Harvard's 47 Workshop. She returned to Grinnell where she initiated her idea for an experimental theater. The following year she accepted a job at Vassar College. In 1926 she was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship to study theater in Europe, the first woman to receive this honor. She traveled extensively and met with John Galsworthy, Konstantin Stanislavsky, Vsevolod Meyerhold, Karel Capek, Edward Gordon Craig, and Lady Gregory among others. From 1927 to 1935 she taught and directed at Vassar where she established the Vassar Experimental Theatre.
- In 1935 Hallie Flanagan was appointed national director of the Federal Theatre Project, an offshoot of the Works Progress Administration. Flanagan envisioned the project not only as a source of employment for American artists but as a way to bring theater to people across the country, many of whom had never seen a play. The project lasted for four years and was ultimately abolished by Congress. Hallie Flanagan returned to Vassar where, with the aid of a Rockefeller grant, she organized the Federal Theatre records and wrote ARENA, the story of the Federal Theatre Project.
- In 1942 she took a leave of absence from Vassar and became the head of the theater department of Smith College. She remained at Smith until her retirement in 1952.
- Besides ARENA, Flanagan was the author of numerous articles and two other books: SHIFTING SCENES OF THE MODERN EUROPEAN THEATRE, based on her 1926-1927 travels, and DYNAMO, a chronicle of her work at Vassar. She was also a playwright. Hallie Flanagan died on July 23, 1969.
