For reviews of locally produced plays, see the newspaper index for that city (e.g., San Diego Union Tribune)
For a PAC search for plays in the library, see the following LCSH subject headings:
Also try "drama" or "plays" or "monologues" or "dialogues" as a keyword search, since some collections of plays do not have LCSH headings, and sometimes the words "drama" or "plays" are not the first words in the LCSH heading (such as "Television Plays").
Literature Online and Magill on Literature Plus include many references (both citations and full text) to drama criticism.
