The Internet Off-Broadway Database (IOBDB), also formerly known as the Lortel Archives,[1] is an online database that catalogues theatre productions shown off-Broadway. As of March 2025, the database library is housed at the spectra.theater website.[2]
The IOBDB was funded and developed by the non-profit Lucille Lortel Foundation, named in honor of actress and theatrical producer Lucille Lortel.

What happened to IOBDB? Spectra has added the Lucille Lortel Foundation's Off-Broadway archive to www.spectra.theater. For the last 23 years, the Lortel's database has been the trusted catalogue for shows produced Off-Broadway, and with this new partnership, the site is officially retired and all users will be automatically redirected to www.spectra.theater. All data previously found on IOBDB can now be discovered on Spectra.Theater.
