Citizens for the Adelphi Theater

I came across this article randomly and thought that the encyclopedia might be better served by an article on the historic theatre itself, with a small section on this non-profit (which probably wouldn't survive an AFD). Anyone willing to take on that project?4meter4 (talk) 12:33, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

The Poor of New York v.s. The Streets of New York (play)

Hi all. I just came across The Poor of New York while researching on creating an article on the 1913 silent film The Streets of New York which is based on the play by Dion Boucicault. I noticed the play article did not even mention the alternative title of the work, "The Streets of New York", which in googling looks like it has been published under that title as well as performed under that title. I therefore created a redirect at The Streets of New York (play) and added it to the disambiguation page at The Streets of New York. I also created a The Poor of New York#Film adaptations section where you will notice all film adaptations have used the title "The Streets of New York". I also found an NYT review of a recent production title, The Streets of New York, which appears to be a musical adaptation. Ultimately, my question in all of this is, what article title should we use? It appears the play has been published under both titles. The Poor of New York is the original title, but all the adaptations use The Streets of New York and it looks like contemporary stagings use this title as well. I'm fine leaving it as is, but it's possible users might be more likely to search for the play under the title "The Streets of New York". Thoughts?4meter4 (talk) 18:51, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

I'm working on editing the Three Act Page

I've been researching for books and history of the Three Act structure so I can fix that page, but the thing is the history of it coincides almost one to one with the Five-act structure. I'm not sure how to proceed. Should the Five Act structure redirect to three act, or should it have a new title?

The contents I'd propose has things like the myths of the Three Act structure, the rise of structuralism with plot, as suggested by Barthes, and the figures that actually pout it together--which is not Aristotle, but more a misunderstanding of Aristotle. I do have sources (primary) for all of it, so it's not original research. But often Three act and Five act are almost lockstep with each other as saw, someone like Kenneth Row, who argued roughly for Five Act, shows up in Three Act arguements. And the person who coined "inciting incident" (as a phrase). Refers to three act, but then it shows up in the Five act structure as well.

So any advice about how to get this to work would really help.

There's also the fact it's kind of the Structuralists v. Modernists. (coined by Barthes as structuralist).--KimYunmi (talk) 15:12, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

Listing "Creative team" in Theatre articles

Aptly named user TheaterLove has been adding "Creative team" to multiple plays. Could someone from WikiProject Theatre please advise if this is standard? Please see for example My Neighbour Totoro (play). Cielquiparle (talk) 08:56, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

Not a fan. Main info should be in info box. Mark E (talk) 15:06, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

I am not either and have not been able to find any other example, except for articles edited by this user, whom I would guess works in the industry. (Fixing TheaterLove username spelling to ping.) Cielquiparle (talk) 16:18, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
