Theater 111: Creating a Theater Season

A guide to Library resources for Theater students, including plays, online databases, and more.

Online Play Collections: UCLA Library

The Library subscribes to a number of full text play collections, where you may also locate monologues and scenes of interest. If connecting from off-campus and using library-subscribed resources, make sure your computer is configured and logged into the campus VPN or proxy server. Many of the individual play titles in these collections will come up in UC Library Search by author or title. However, the databases often have expanded keyword searching/filtering options, and New Play Exchange titles should be searched in the database itself. 

Connecting from Off-Campus: VPN and Proxy Tutorials

The Library's online subscription resources can always be accessed from computers and wireless networks on campus. However, off-campus access is restricted to current UCLA, students, faculty, and staff who have set up their computer using one of the methods below. Click on the other tabs to see how four Bruins got their computers set up and ready to go for remote access!

If you still need help, you can contact the UCLA IT Support Center at (310) 267-4357 or help@it.ucla.edu. They provide 24/7 phone support.
