APA Format: Citing Performances   

     


 

To cite a performance, a typical bibliography entry will appear as follows:



Taylor, James (Vocalist). (1 Oct. 1993). James Taylor live:

      1993 concert tour  [Concert]. Champaign, IL: University

      of Illinois Assembly Hall.



The name(s) of the performers are listed at the head of the entry, last names first. Each name is followed by a description in parentheses of that individual's function (in this example, James Taylor is the vocalist), and a period should appear after the final parentheses. After listing the performance date in parentheses followed by a period, italicize the title, and specify in brackets the type of performance (concert, play, ballet, etc.). Conclude the entry with the location and the name of the theater or concert hall.

For more specific information, consult the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (Fifth Edition).
