    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. To enhance security and improve efficiency, the Bronx Music Hall is now a cashless venue.
