Susan Quinn uses stunning 1930’s film footage to illustrate her story of one of the New Deal’s boldest departures — the Federal Theatre Project. The 1930’s gave birth to both FDR’s New Deal and the Coolidge Corner Theatre. Travel back in time with us for a grand 75th anniversary celebration in the perfect Art Deco setting.

Susan Quinn is the author of Marie Curie: a Life and A Mind of Her Own: The life of Karen Horney as well as Human Trials: Scientists, Investors and Patients in Quest for a Cure. She has been the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and Rockefeller Foundation Grant.

Susan Quinn will be introduced by Howard Zinn – historian, playwright, activist, and author of the perennial bestseller, A People’s History of the United States.

Copies of Susan Quinn’s book Furious Improvisation: How the WPA and a Cast of Thousands Made High Art out of Desperate Times,just published by Walker & Company, will be on sale.
