This is a database dedicated to live theatre before William Shakespeare, specifically looking at the era when Queen Elizabeth ruled (16th century). The site includes a blog section to promote events and resources for learning about theatre before Shakespeare and an archive of these blog posts. It also includes an about section, an events section, a media section (including photos, videos, and workshops), a plays and materials section (including a timeline and a “live tweets” section), a links section for other resources, and an index of posts. This database is not just a collection of information, it seems to be designed to initiate conversation, between blog posts that can be commented on, and different workshops that are being promoted. There seems to be a sense of community that extends outside of the project. - Olivia Nicolazzo
