Theater

Unlike a trip to the movies, a night at the theater requires some advanced research and good planning. Fortunately, the Internet can give you a hand finding your way to the stage. On the Web you'll find tools to buy tickets, research shows, read news and reviews, and plan a theater vacation. Whatever your theater interests are, you can explore them on Internet.

Theater Artists

Maybe going to the theater isn't quite enough for you. Maybe you want to know everything there is to know. Maybe you see a play and you absolutely need to know where you've seen that actress before. Good news: there are enough databases to keep you busy for hours. Go, obsess. We won't tell.

Dulcinea's Insight

  • There is no overlap between the Broadway and the Off-Broadway databases, so if you don't find something you need try using the other database.
  • To expedite your searches, stick to the theme of each database. For example, you will not find Shakespeare on a site devoted to modern playwrights.

Dulcinea's Picks

The Internet Broadway Database (IBDB) is the official database archive for all New York theater since it began. Use it to look up casts or production staffs for any show that ever opened-even if it closed the following day. You can also search for individual actors, directors, producers, playwrights, and designers to get a full list of every Broadway show they've worked on.

Internet Off-Broadway Database is the Internet Off-Broadway Database. It does everything the Broadway database does, but only for Off-Broadway shows.

Doollee.com is an online guide to modern playwrights and plays. Their database includes 16,000 playwrights that you can browse alphabetically. They also offer information on play-publishers and literary agents. Impress (or annoy) your friends with endless trivia about the men and women who are the brains behind it all.
