What kind of work takes place in New York during the 1930's?
To get an idea of the book, I thought a young woman whose family has been very private after the Great Depression. She goes in search of work to support their brothers and sisters, and is a role in a Broadway play – or one thing or another. Need some information about what type of plays are set, and in general what the theater business, like New York in 1930. Thanks! 
information on both Théâtre not playing regularly – but this link has a list of musicals that can be used to start. http://www.musicals101.com/1930s.htm

Greatest Hits 2 (Bonus CD) $19.98 You don’t have to get very far into Alan Jackson’s splendid second anthology of hits before you’re struck by how well the rangy Georgian has built his catalogue and how beautifully Keith Stegall continually produces his songs, filling the instrumental breaks with unexpectedly creative solos. While Jackson’s choice of cover songs is usually inspired (“Pop-A-Top,” “Little Bitty”), he’s a deft writer… |

The Great Depression (History Channel – 4 video set) [VHS] $55.35 Necessity, as the saying goes, is the mother of invention, and at no point has a cliché been so prescient as in the 1930s. During that era, Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s New Deal took documentation to new heights in U.S. history, turning artists and artisans into government-sponsored vehicles for reportage and representation of both American ideals and the harsher set of realities citizens were dea… |

The Grapes of Wrath $5.93 Ranking No. 21 on the American Film Institute’s list of the 100 greatest American films, this 1940 classic is a bit dated in its noble sentimentality, but it remains a luminous example of Hollywood classicism from the peerless director of mythic Americana, John Ford. Adapted by Nunnally Johnson from John Steinbeck’s classic novel, the film tells a simple story about Oklahoma farmers leaving the de… |

Seabiscuit (Widescreen Edition) $4.97 Proving that truth is often greater than fiction, the handsome production of Seabiscuit offers a healthy alternative to Hollywood’s staple diet of mayhem. With superior production values at his disposal, writer-director Gary Ross (Pleasantville) is a bit too reverent toward Laura Hillenbrand’s captivating bestseller, unnecessarily using archival material–and David McCullough’s familiar PBS-styled… |
