What sets this poster apart is its subject: a production of *Flight*, presented by the Seattle Children's theater and described as a living newspaper play. That dramatic form turned current events into short scenes drawn from news material, and aviation, still new and exciting to many audiences in the 1930s, was a fitting topic. The poster's subject headings also tie the show to airplanes and to Seattle theater of the period. Silkscreen posters like this one came out of the Federal Art Project, part of the Works Progress Administration, which employed artists to publicize community theater and other public programs.
