Theater vs. Theatre in Searches
Throughout your research, you will notice that the spelling changes.
American practice: Theater
British & Canadian practice: Theatre
Tip: Searching theat* will retrieve results on both spellings and so will "theatrical."
Books | You can find a good selection of plays in our book collection. A book can also provide detailed background and historical information on dramatists and landmark stage productions. |
Articles | Articles from journals, magazines, and major newspapers are the primary source for recent reviews and literary criticism on recently published plays and current stage productions. ACC databases can help connect you to these articles. |
Websites | The internet can provide a wealth of information, especially from professional organizations, such as Actors' Equity Association. This library guide can help you evaluate the abundant online information. |
