Theater on the Web

Links to eighteenth- and nineteenth-century theater are found at various sites.

Imagine that you are a costume designer working on a production of Dickens's A Christmas Carol that will be performed in the historical Ford theater in Washington, D.C., during the winter holiday season. Use these resources to create a bibliography of links to historical articles, links to images, and links to specific information about the play. Annotate the bibliography to indicate the relevance of each link to your production.
