One Third of a Nation is a 1936, WPA play exploring and protesting housing inequities of the

era. It was propaganda, but highly theatrical and often very funny. The production will be performed by a company of actors playing many roles in the series of vignettes characteristic of the Federal Theater Project's 'Living Newspapers.' We are seeking actors of all ages and types with a strong interest in presentational acting, character work, and ensemble performance.
