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

Trunk has always been known for being on the cutting edge of technology. For posterity’s sake, we’ve gone done and resurrected the previous incarnations of our home on the wide, wide interweb:

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.
