Library use is fairly heavy, especially in American theater history. Most theater productions use a dramaturg, which requires some library research by members of the acting and production staffs. In addition to performances on Miami's main stage, there are many productions by undergraduate and graduate directors. Overview of the Collection Drama studies have long been a part of literature programs in Classics, English, French, German, and Spanish, and the book collection is solid in both plays and secondary studies.
