Introduction

This webliography will explore theatre and its aspects from Greek times all the way to today. This website is for any and all interested in theatre, or wanting to know about theatre.

I, Austin Long, am a theatre major at Tarleton State University. I am currently a freshman, but have been interested in theatre ever since I was a small child. I hope that by creating this annotated webliography I will catch the interest of my readers.

Thanks, and enjoy!
