As it currently stands, the vast majority of Wikipedia's articles relating to theatre are quite pitiful. While many of the important topics do have existing articles, the quality of those articles is poor. The goal of this project is to improve the articles relating to theatre thus making Wikipedia one of the best online resources on the subject.
The scope of this project covers all articles relating to theatre. The ranges from drama to technical theatre covering, along the way, biographies of theatrical folk such as playwrights, actors and directors. This will also cover topics of theatre history as well as the modern theatre as its exists around the world.
Goals
To improve the quality of articles on theatre which will include bringing articles on important topics up to featured article standard.
To create articles to cover the topic of theatre comprehensively. This also includes covering articles on non-western theatre.
To create the finest, comprehensive resource of theatre topics available online. (Yeah, I know this is a huge goal, but one should always think big!)
Article assessment is being carried out by a number of WikiProjects, so why not have one here as well. On this page, articles relating to theatre will be listed and assessed. When looking for something to do, please check out these lists. You may assess articles that have not been assessed, work on articles that have or add articles that are absent from the list. If you do work on an article, please re-assess it and note that in the assessment table.
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more; it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.... William Shakespeare Macbeth
