Abstract


This project is a culmination of theatre programs and companies in both the direct and greater Tallahassee area. It is created in the form of a digital library and contains both a theatre index and a calendar. The theatre index lists all of the companies in forms of profiles, each containing the same formatting. The information included in this format are the company’s social media sites and a summary of what the company does. The calendar is an extension of the profile’s information, for it lists any upcoming events for the companies included in the index. This is all found on a Wix website and was created for simple and direct access to the arts in Tallahassee. Through this index, we are hoping to incorporate more theatre in the area and allow for more direct communication between companies, thus enhancing a positive theatre morale in the city. If theatre companies are able to be in contact with one another, it is with hope that more cohesive projects can be created and initiatives in which societal issues are focused on can be developed. This will change the impact of theatre and showcase that there is more to the arts than one can simply perceive.
