Web Site Review
| The New Deal Stage: Selections from the Federal Theatre Project, 1935–1939 <http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/fedtp/fthome.html>. Created and maintained by the Library of Congress National Digital Library Program, Washington, D.C. Reviewed Sept. 26–28, 2005.

| This Web site is another wonderful addition to the Library of Congress's American Memory series. While the site highlights three plays that were performed by the New Deal's Federal Theatre Project (FTP), it also contains a wide array of FTP playscripts and administrative records. Together, these documents provide a broad glimpse not only into the inner workings of performances themselves but also into the federal apparatus that constantly debated their meaning and execution. Containing everything from rehearsal schedules to advertisements to costume designs, this site provides a great deal of breadth for those interested in these experimental theater productions. |
