History

scrapbooks

Compiling the photos and fliers, postcards and plates from each semester has been a Trunk tradition since the very beginning: Sharon Cinnamon and Jill Christiansen’s ambitious idea to start “Tuft’s First Childrens Theater Reperatory Company” back in late 1987. Below is an ever-growing collection of selected pages from these books; an account of the changing faces, fashions, and tendencies of the troupe over the last 18 years:

  • Fall 1987
  • Spring 1988
  • Spring 2002
  • Fall 2002

websites

There’s also Trunk’s first fansite, Ica is Cool (c.2002). Be careful of your eyes, though: yellow is apparently impossible to read on top of red.
