RingWorld and the WebRings
While many of us had our backs turned, a new web concept has been gaining momentum: the WebRing, created and run by Sage Weil and the New Dream Network. The concept of the web ring is fairly simple: a number of sites of related interest are linked together so that you can hop from one set of pages to the next by clicking "Next in Ring" or "Previous in Ring" buttons. How closely related the sites actually are depends on how stringently the ringleader follows the rules established for that particular ring.
At this point RingWorld, the WebRing Directory, tracks thousands of various rings (as of this writing 9,364). Here are starting points for a few theatre rings of interest (descriptions are in the words of the ringmasters):
Entertaining
Arts
The goal of this ring is to promote the community & non-profit
arts organizations.
La
Ronde, the Playwright's Ring
The mission is to link all stage writers on the Web. Sites qualified
for inclusion must have a primary focus on presenting the work
of an individual playwright or groups of playwrights.
Spotlight
Ring of Theatre Excellence
I want this to be a place for theatre lovers to come home to on
the web.
Many
Muses: Ring of the Arts
Anything to do with any of the arts: Dance, Film, Illustration,
Music, Photography, Poetry, Prose, Sculpture, Theatre and anything
else you can think of.
