Between the end of the twenties and the beginning of the thirties a significant development in the world of theater began. This movement was called Workers' Theater and was partly shaped by the agitprop theater of Communist Russia. Agitprop theater contained short parts and was performed on transportable theater entities. Agitprop Theater performers often performed songs that tended to enrage listeners to resist entrepreneurship and recognize the ways of communism. They wanted their audience to acquiesce to the idea that the working class would arise. Russian communist agitprop theater consequently used presentation, presentational performances, lack of plot, and montages to promote their philosophies.

For all intents and purposes his impact made an exceptional improvement in the American theater. The Federal Theater Project has revealed the devastating consequences that can occur in the United States when political figures and officials have decisive jurisdiction that goes beyond what should remain an imaginative undertaking..
