The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts > Collections > Circulating Collections Drama Collection: Miriam and Harold Steinberg Reading RoomTelephone: Location: Catalog: The drama collection encompasses all aspects of the performing arts that are not strictly music or dance. In drama we carry available published plays and screenplays in English. We also have an extensive collection of film and dramatic criticism and history. The collection includes much material on film and theater production. We cover every aspect of acting, directing, playwriting, screenwriting, set design, costume, makeup, etc. Other subjects represented include television and radio broadcasting, magic, puppetry and the circus. Our vertical files contain clippings about persons in theater and film, reviews of plays and films, and general subjects in the same areas as our book collection. We carry important periodicals in our fields, plus trade papers such as Variety and Backstage. The Play Index, housed in a freestanding catalog in the Drama section, directs users to plays that have been published in collections, anthologies or periodicals which are held in the Steinberg Room. To find plays published individually in book form throughout the branch system, users should consult LEO. The Drama Collection contains materials on:
