Performances Available in the Library

The Library has a large collection of theatrical performances in DVD & VHS as well as CD & LP (audio) formats by a wide variety of professional theater companies.  Search the CONSORT and OhioLINK catalgs using title, author or keywords to locate print and multimedia items.  To narrow the results to film or audio performances use the 'modify' button at the top of the search screen and further refine your results list to either 'projected medium' or 'sound recording'.  Machines on campus and the Multimedia Room are still capable of screening VHS format items, so do not dismiss the format at this time.  Many historic sound recordings are available at Kenyon on CD & LP and may be listened to in our LP Room on the first floor of the Library or the Multimedia Room.
