The Theatrical Sourcebook and Our New Directory
For decades, The Theatrical Sourcebook was the essential bible for anyone working in live entertainment in New York City. A thick, dog-eared hard copy could be found on every designer’s desk and production office shelf—a comprehensive, trusted directory that listed the go-to shops, suppliers, craftspeople, and specialty services needed to get anything made. Whether you were costuming a Broadway show, building a set, or sourcing unusual materials for a one-night event, the Sourcebook was your first stop.
Though no longer in print, its spirit lives on through our new digital directory. We've begun curating and sharing our favorite resources—businesses and individuals we rely on to bring creative visions to life. It's our way of honoring the Sourcebook’s legacy and supporting the community of makers, artisans, and vendors who keep NYC’s creative engine running.
