Dramaturgy

This guide provides an overview of library resources and services that support the study of dramatic composition and performance. Navigate the tabs on the left for help with:

• Search strategies for researching contemporary or historical theatre
• Databases for outlining production histories
• Resources for critical and contextual research of a time period, playwright, or narrative
• Locating criticism and reviews of performances and texts
• Finding plays in print or online
• Finding video of theatre performances (streaming or on physical media)

Spaces

• Need a space to study, work on a monologue, rehearse with friends, or collaboratively (re)view a performance? Find a space.
• Want to exhibit or perform in the library? Contact Sarah Falls.

Collections

• Need a book or film that we don't have? We'll do our best to get it for you through Interlibrary Loan.
• Have ideas for titles/areas of study that would benefit our permanent collection? Request a purchase.
