Finding Company Information in Library Research Databases

Check within the department for resources sent out to theatre departments. Some titles to ask about include:
  • ArtSearch - also available at the Main Reference/Information Desk
  • American Theatre Magazine - One issue a year is devoted to Summer Rep & University Theatre Companies
Use the company's web site - use your favorite search engine to find the web site of your company (Note: not all search engines search the same way - check the search engine's Help files to find out how to search most effectively)
  • You can try searching directly for the company or search by region (for instance: "Theatre Companies" + Ohio)
  • Check for "Company Information" or "Info & Services", for example
  • Check for a link to Press Releases
  • Actors, Directors, and Technicians can also search by job listings, or auditioning websites.
