Theatre and Dance  

Start with a search in Summon, UM-Flint's unified discovery search service for the library’s resources, because information about theatre will appear in many different databases, and Summon allows you to search across most of the library's databases at one time.

Also try the databases listed on the Find Articles page in this guide.  These databases either focus on Theatre specifically or include enough informaton on theatre to make it useful to search them separately.  

It will frequently be useful to try both Summon and individual databases, because you may find different results.
