Federal Playhouse of the Air: Cast and Crew
Although this country is in a Depression, that dosen't mean that Americans can't have fun, as the Federal Playhouse has gone on the air, entertaining many people whith their acts.
Most of all Americans have suffered from this depression that we are currently in, but that dosen't mean that these people can't have any fun anymore. The Federal Government had funded for a play infront of many people in New Orleans, LA, but for those who couldn't come to the Playhouse live were able to listen at home from their radios.
the presendent gave money to these play actors for the purpose of entertainment; President FDR wants people to come to these theaters in order to wash away all of their troubles, and it dosen't cost much, so many people can go without worrying about their paying fee. But, some people think that it is wrong to spend money on something so foolish, because they believe that these types of enterntainment caused us to go into this depresion.
The play was a hudge sucess, and all of the veiwers listening at their hpmes enjoyed themselves. But, the tension between these listeners, and the people who believe that this is unessesary still grows. But in all, President FDR also enjoyed the performance.
