Few posters from the Federal theater Project's Los Angeles unit were printed in silkscreen, which makes this 1936 advertisement for *Wild Birds* stand out among the WPA holdings. The record credits Dan Totheroh, the playwright behind the drama of youthful emotions, and the Federal theater Project as sponsor. Promoting a stage production with flat, layered color was a practical way for the program to reach audiences during the Depression, when many artists were employed to produce such work. The poster also reflects the period's interest in the inner lives of young people, a theme its subject headings reflect.
