Historical Outline of Theater in Mexico 2.0-2.1. System of Information on Theater Criticism

Organization: Israel Franco and Sergio Honey

It often happens that students, professors, theater researchers and theatrical creators have to resort to documentary research to obtain information on the historical record of the staging of a certain playwright, director or stage designer, or also about the gage of the theatrical production in a certain year or period of time. One of the most consulted sources that can satisfy the need for that kind of information is the theater criticism published in the press.

Historical Outline on Theater in Mexico 2.0-2.1. System of Information on Theater Criticism is a project by the Rodolfo Usigli National Theater Research, Documentation and Information Center, (CITRU, according to its Spanish initials: Centro Nacional de Investigación, Documentación e Información Teatral Rodolfo Usigli), whose aim is to present on this website work to be consulted online, with compilations of the full texts of published work by theater critics that have collaborated in different national media.

This computer repository —according to the documentation vocabulary— will be constantly updated, especially regarding the critiques collected in it and the tools for the recovery of information.
