Description

Dramatic Arts Building - University Of Iowa
Iowa City, Iowa
This auction is for a very nice
chrome
postcard showing
the Dramatic Arts Building on the University Of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa.
The University of Iowa Theatre Building was completed in 1936 during the depths of the Great Depression. How did a public university in Iowa, a state hard-hit by economic collapse and unemployment, ever see fit to build a theatre at such a time? The answers are unique to the time: “New Deal” politics, a surge of pride in regional art and arts, and E.C. Mabie, “the Boss,” who had big plans and the drive to see the plans through. This, then, is the story of that era, the “New Deal” arts projects, of E.C. Mabie and a theatre building dedicated “To the creative spirit of the people of the prairies…”
