Alison's House, Susan Glaspell's poetic romance, is the play this 1938 silkscreen poster advertises, and its production was staged under the Federal theater Project. Glaspell based the 1930 play loosely on the life of Emily Dickinson, and it won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1931. The Federal theater Project, a unit of the Works Progress Administration, staged plays across the country during the Depression, and its artists produced posters like this one to draw audiences. The record's subject headings place this production in California.
