So, why even create a theatre data base? To be perfectly honest, my reasoning is quite selfish. When I was an undergraduate student I was constantly looking to the Internet for information for my classes. Since I was a theatre major the majority of my classes, and therefore the information I was looking for, was theatre related. I found that it was difficult to find the information I was looking for. The information existed in small bits and pieces; finding those pieces proved to be non-trivial.
Therefore, when given the opportunity to create an Internet Home Page for one of my Graduate classes I took it. I decided to put all the theatre reated links I could find in one place, thereby helping both myself and other theater lovers out there who are turning to the Internet to find information about the theatre.
As I hope you can imaging, this proved to be quite a daunting task so I am taking it slowly. I have started with College and University Theatre Department Home Pages. It is my hope that the students at those schools will send me links and other helpful information to make this site grow and become as comprehensive as possible. I will continue to plug away at the vastness that is the Internet looking for small bits of information about the theatre and adding them to this data base.
I hope that because you are reading this you have some interest in the theatre. If you know of a link I have not yet found or have an idea as to where I should go next please feel free to go to the have a voice page and let me know about it. I'll be glad to add any theatre related links you might know of. Thanks for reading this!
