Marc Blitzstein
s 1937 anti-capitalist operetta The Cradle Will Rock, about the effort to unionize steelworkers, was originally produced as part of the Federal Theatre Project. The Federal Theatre Project (1935-1939), in turn, was part of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), which was created in 1935 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to employ people during the Great Depression. Directed by
Orson Welles
and produced by
John Houseman
, Cradle was shut down right before it was due to open because of "budget cuts" at the FTP. Everyone involved believed the government deliberately cut funding because the plays message offended its more conservative contingent; Actors Equity prohibited its members from taking part, apparently oblivious to the fact that Cradle was a pro-union piece and Actors Equity was - and is - a union. Welles, Housman and Blitzstein spontaneously rented another theater and planned to put on Cradle with Blitzstein himself singing/reading the piece; the show sold out and various actors defied Equity and performed their parts from the seats theyd bought. The secondary plot which involved Mexican painter
Diego Rivera
butting heads with
Nelson Rockefeller
when the mural the latter commissioned for a Rockefeller Center lobby on the high-minded subject of "human intelligence in control of the forces of nature" included a portrait of Lenin, is also based on fact, though it happened in 1933. The incident is also dramatized in the 2002 film

included it because it tied into the theme of artistic integrity vs. economic practicality.
