The Arena - a re-imagined radio play

In 1938, the Federal Theatre Project, helmed by Hallie Flanagan, was shuttered in a closed committee hearing. The Arena, a documentary radio play based on Hallie Flanagan’s memoir, re-imagines that hearing as a series of vaudevillian sketches that gives artists their proverbial day in court. Set within a fictional dream sequence of an out-of-work composer after she discovers Flanagan’s memoir, The Arena interrogates the value of art and artists within society.
Based on Hallie Flanagan's actual memoir, transcripts from the actual 1938 hearing and further books on Hallie and the FTP.
