Distance Learning, Gap Years, Foundation Degrees, Apprenticeships UK McCoy's Guide to Theatre and Performance Studies In 1993, when I first began to research theatre sites on the internet, it was a difficult and laborious project. Sites were hard to find, search engines were underdeveloped, there were very few theatre people who had taken an interest in, or even knew about the internet. Obviously, things have changed. Now the Web is easily accessible through a variety of web browsers, making specific knowledge of such utilities as telnet, ftp, and gopher (remember that one?) more or less obsolete or invisible. There are now so many theatre-related sites that keeping a truly comprehensive guide to resources theatre on the internet, compiled and maintained through human intervention, is incredibly time-consuming. The proliferation of search engines and databases on the web now makes finding a comprehensive listing of links fairly easy for a single user. In previous versions, I have struggled to keep a balance between brief and comprehensive. What's not in this guide Assumptions Submitting a site - Ken McCoy
