Theater and Performing Arts

Find information on a playwright, choreographer or other artist by checking Biography Reference Bank.

Addtional information, particularly on playwrights and their works, can be found in Facts on File's Literary Reference Center and Magill's On Literature Plus.

Find reviews of performances by using the Historical New York Times and Lexis Nexis. It might be interesting to compare a review of a performance of Hamlet in the late 1800's to a more recent one.

For criticism and interpretation, use MLA Bibliography, the International Bibliography of Theater and Dance, JSTOR and Academic Search Premier.

Don't forget to check MIDAS for collected works of criticism or biographies. Can't find what you need at MCC? Check other libraries' holdings in Worldcat and request the items through Interlibrary Loan.

Manage your time by using the Assignment Calculator.
