In the past
two years, we've identified more than 200 lost, rare,
and previously unpublished plays
for inclusion in our drama collections.
Our goal is to make every collection as complete
as possible, so we're seeking
assistance from librarians, curators, archivists,
and others to find the plays listed below, which
have defied everyone's best efforts to find them,
including the playwrights themselves!
Since first posting this message, we've found 7
more plays. Our thanks to:

Your assistance is most appreciated. We will acknowledge
any individuals and libraries who are able to assist
us. And of course, you will be responsible for helping
preserve this material and making it accessible to
students and scholars for now and the future. Please
send any information you have about these plays to Will
Whalen by email or fax at the addresses below, or
phone him at 800-889-5937 ext. 112.
On the positive side, we’re excited to report
that
Black
Drama has already grown to include the
works of more than 160 playwrights from around the
world, and
North American Women's
Drama now represents
over 100 women from the United States and Canada!
