Master Sites:
American
Theater Web
This site features theatre news, especially for the theatre
professional, but also has an exceptional searchable database of
theatres around America
Curtain Rising
Over 8,000 links to theatre companies are included on this master
site. A particularly nice feature is the geographical arrangement of
links.
The
Internet Broadway Database 
Patterned after the wildly successful Internet Movie Database,
this site offers an extensive database of Broadway credits, shows,
and dates. Great site for Research.
The
Internet Off Broadway Database, Lortel Archives
Of course, not all theatre in America is "Broadway", some
of the greatest works were produced OFF-Broadway. This database, is
dedicated to these plays, artists, and venues. It is not as complete
as it's big brother Broadway directory but is remarkably fertile in
it's information.
The
Internet Theatre Database
And of course not all theatre is American either! There's a great
world out there. This website also provides a database of
shows/people/theatres but it's scope is the broadest, and of course
with the territory comes lots of holes in the holdings. Great for
research though.
Ken
McCoy's Guide to Online Theatre Resources
This Guide, by Dr. Ken McCoy, Associate Professor of Communication Studies and Theatre Arts at Stetson University
is both excellent and comprehensive. Founded in 1993, the guide is
almost as old as Artslynx and makes for a great parallel resource.
Playbill
Online
A staple for many years, this web includes many research resources
including a number of databases, theatre listings, obituaries, news,
etc. It is also a great resource for the public looking for show
tickets, Broadway show listings, etc.
Theatreland
Alas, while this site used to be exceptional in it's coverage of
the stage, in particular the British stage, the site now has more film
star news than theatre news, but there is still stage news to be found
in places.
Tony
Award Pages
Especially good (obviously) for research on Tony Award nominees and
recipients. Nice site with good data.
World
Wide Web Virtual Library of Theatre Resources
Nice directory, especially of electronic play texts and
theatre images.
