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)

Services

Your Library Liaison is always ready to help you locate or acquire library resources, or to integrate library resources into your projects, productions, exhibitions, and classroom instruction.
