The easiest way to find plays in the library is by using our search engine, OneSearch. If you aren't sure about what the title or author of the play is, try searching for the subject of the play and add the word drama (such as pittsburgh drama or african american drama if you are searching for a play by August Wilson). You can start by trying this canned search (using the OneSearch engine) for items with drama in the subject and play in the title. The results are not sorted by date or alphabetically, so you can filter the results as you wish!
