Internet Theatre Database

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Internet Theatre Database (ITDb) is an online database with information about plays, playwrights, actors, legitimate theater, musical theater, Broadway shows, and similar theatrical information.

The website is run by several volunteer theater aficionados, each contributing material as time permits. Somewhat similar to the Internet Broadway Database, the site's creators endeavor to include theater outside of New York City by indexing London and Off-Broadway productions, national tours, and regional theater. Modeled on the considerably larger Internet Movie Database, the site indexes by six categories: (1) show/play name; (2) people (actor, writer, or director); (3) theater facility; (4) song title; (5) character/role; and (6) production role. Each day, the site also shows what well known productions opened or closed on that date at important theaters in the past several decades.
