How to find a play
Plays in the library
Look for the playwright's name or the play's title in the Library's Online Catalogue. If you don't find the play, it may be available in an anthology.
Plays in anthologies
There are a couple of ways to search for plays in anthologies. In each case, you will have to search Library's Online Catalogue to determine whether we have the anthology in which a play was published.
Inter-Play - Portland State University
Inter-Play is an online index to plays in anthologies and periodicals in the collection of Portland State University. Search the playwright's name, the play title, or a combination. Leddy Library will not have everything you find. Nevertheless, this is a great source for discovering where a play has been published.
Play Index - Leddy Library Reference Collection (Z5781.P53)
The Play Index is a nine volume set indexing plays in anthologies and periodicals from 1949-2002. It is possible to search for plays by author, title, or subject.
