Stamped with the words "War declared Almost!" and a promise of "full details," this silkscreen poster advertises a satirical comedy, *The Warriors' Husband*, by Julian F. Thompson, staged at the Alcazar in San Francisco. The Federal theater Project, a New Deal program run under the Works Progress Administration, sponsored the production in 1936. The poster's bold, playful lettering reflects the project's goal of drawing working audiences to affordable live theater during the Depression. Its satire of warfare and marriage shows the program's willingness to tackle lively, topical material.
