Theatre Arts

The best way to find criticisms may be to find books on the play and/or playwright.

Start in Polar, the ONU library catalog. There will be physical books and ebooks available. If you can't find what you need in Polar, search in OhioLink.

Depending on the play/playwright you may need to search for the title or the playwright. 

Finding a clickable subject or author name will help narrow the search.

Google may be your best friend for finding modern production history.

Wikipedia usually has a production history or selected production history. You can take this and build on it. There also may be references you can use. 

If you find an article/chapter/book that works well for your play or playwright, look for a bibliography. Search in the library catalog or in the databases for the book or article listed. 

Use these indexes to find reviews of productions:

• New York theatre critics' reviews : index (1940-1986)
• A Guide to critical reviews 

Look for a criticism of the play or playwright.
