Beginning this semester, the LSU community will have access to the database Digital Theatre+. Digital Theatre+ provides online access to a digital streaming video collection of unique films of current, leading British theatre productions, musicals, and operas; behind-the-scenes documentaries; and teaching and learning resources to facilitate a deeper understanding of the productions and texts.
Digital Theatre+ provides access to:
· 500+ HD-quality films of star-studded, classical, contemporary and international productions. (RSC, BroadwayHD, Shakespeare's Globe, West End, Gecko Theatre and more)
· 13,000+ written study guides, essays, research materials, performance studies, and workshop programs, all designed by industry experts and leading academics.
· 400+ interviews with academics & practitioners focused on everything from acting to directing, lighting design to stage management.
“The plays and materials offered in Digital Theatre+ are extensive and offer powerful and highly effective examples of work of international note and quality. I have used and will continue to grow the use of this platform for performance classes, directing classes, and period style and research for both production and course applications.”
— George Judy, Gresdna A. Doty Professor of Acting at the LSU School of Theatre
Digital Theatre+ is a welcome addition to LSU Libraries’ collection of online databases to aid the teaching activities and research of the LSU community.
The LSU Libraries includes the LSU Library and the adjacent Hill Memorial Library. Together, the libraries contain more than 4 million volumes and provide additional resources such as expert staff, technology, services, electronic resources, and facilities that advance research, teaching, and learning across every discipline.
