罗斯福新政时期的联邦戏剧计划研究

The Federal Theater Project During Roosevelt's New Deal Period

为了应对20世纪30年代的经济大危机,罗斯福总统实施新政,包括工业、农业、金融和文化艺术领域,联邦戏剧计划是其中的一项文化措施。在戏剧艺术家哈利·弗拉纳根的领导下,联邦戏剧计划立足当时美国社会现实,在戏剧创作、发展黑人戏剧和儿童戏剧、创办活报剧、调查美国戏剧历史、揭露社会现实等方面取得了显著的成就,但因戏剧的独特性和当时国际国内环境的影响,这一计划也受到了严重的争议和抨击。

To deal with the Great Crisis during the 30’s of the 20 th century,President Roosevelt implemented the New Deal,including industry,agriculture,financial and culture. The Federal Theater Project was one of the measures. With the leadership of Harry Flanagan,the Federal Theater Project created many scripts,developed the Black drama and the Children’s theatre,founded the Living Theatre,surveyed the American theatre history and revealed the reality of society. The Federal Theater Project bears many significant achievements,but it has been criticized because of the environment at home and abroad.
