TAR 145 - Principles of Dramatic Structure

Always check with your professor to see if there is a required style for your paper. In general, researchers in theatre and drama use the citation style in the Modern Language Association (MLA) Style Guide or the Notes-Bibliography version of the Chicago Manual of Style. 

Why cite? It's important to cite your sources, for a variety of reasons:

• To give credit to the author(s) of your sources
• To allow your readers to locate your sources
• To show that you thoroughly researched your topic and can support your claims
• So you don't get in trouble for plagiarizing
