Biography
  1. The Federal Theatre Project was a special program of the Works Progress Administration, itself a government program designed to counter the deleterious impact of the Great Depression of the 1930s. Created in 1935 by executive order of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Federal Theatre Project was headed by Hallie Flanagan, a former Professor of English from Vassar College. In its four years of existence the F.T.P. employed some 12,700 theater professionals in 31 states, and presented more than 1,000 performances each month, free of charge. In addition to its stage production units, the F.T.P. reached an estimated 10 million listeners with its FEDERAL THEATRE OF THE AIR radio programs, broadcast over all the major networks. In 1939 Congress abolished the Federal Theatre Program.
