MAJOR: Economics
TRUNKER SINCE: Freshman Fall (with Laura + LoGo!)
Trunk’s Punniest Member, Elizabeth (better known to most as ‘Biz’) uses her keen sense of double meanings in cracking silly jokes that only four year olds will appreciate as much as she. When not snapping away both digital and film photos, doing too much homework, or speaking in weird voices, she can be seen playing her favoritest Trunk characters of all time, Troll and Hilary Hummer. A silly + little known fact about Miss E.D. Herman? She has a black belt in Uechi Ryu Karate!

FAVORITE TRUNK CHARACTER: robot
Trunk’s Simlish Member, Like a sim? from the sims. He can’t play the trombone but he loves accordion serenades, back massages, getting lost, generally being unaware of whats going on, and getting to know the back of his hand. His favorite food is muffin wrappers and his favorite trunk character is the robot.
What’s your lifelong passion? To grow a beard.

A silly + little know fact about Miss L.C. Curren? She was actually born with purple hair!
When a cow laughs, does milk come out of its nose?

Trunk’s Most Effervescent Member, LoGo has a lifelong passion to hug and dance with a panda bear, a dream that might just be realized in this kooky children’s theater troupe! When not doing one of her many loves (acting, directing, singing, Alpha Omicron Pi, playing guitar, or dancing about), LoGo can be seen playing her favoritest Trunk characters: Giant Owl, Starfish, Troll, and Wild Thing #4. A silly + little know fact about Miss L.N. Go? She loves ice-tea – a lot! (Chocolate covered raisins, too!)
How do noses smell?

TRUNKER SINCE: Freshman Spring (with Gideon!)
Trunk’s Creepy-Crawliest Member, Eva’s natural knack for children’s theater has expressed itself beautifully through her heartfelt acting in Trunk. When she’s not participating in one of her many other extracurriculars (LGR, Chi Omega, Tufts Debate Society), she can be seen munching on delicious breads, constantly striving for self-improvement, and acting as her fave Trunk characters, Abuela Tortuga and Gorilla! A silly + little known fact about Miss E.D. Sikes? She has a real knack for saving baby birds!

TRUNKER SINCE: Sophomore Spring (with Yael!)
Trunk’s Most “Well Rounded” Member, Rafi is a charming, cuddly fella with multiple interests! He loves to ski, surf, build stuff, figure out how things work, listen to music and rep the streets. He will also surprise you with his artistic talents and passions. Like most of us, Rafi has a sweet tooth, his favorite food being anything that brings chocolate and hazelnut together! (Nutella, anyone?) Something silly about Rafi? He doesn’t like forks with long tines! Catch him in our newest show, playing his favorite Trunk character, Virgil the Bird!

When not writing for The Tufts Daily or chilling in the wilderness with TWO, Gideon can be seen eating sandwiches and corn (definitely not chocolate, though), perfectng his Michael Jackson impression, building sandcastles, and acting as his favorite Trunk character, Abuela Tortuga! A silly + little known fact about Mr. G.D. Jacobs? He thinks chocolate tastes terrible!

TRUNKER SINCE: Sophomore Fall (with Santi + Cantwell!)
Trunk’s Wackiest and Most Forgetful Member, Becca has a natural propensity for making mischief and resurrecting the funk that translates seamlessly into her awe-inspiring children’s theater performances. When not pining after Enrique Inglesias or swashbuckling, she can be found nibbling on pumpkin pie and playing Frannie the Farmer, her all-time favorite Trunk character. A silly + little known fact about Miss R.A. Novak? She’s crossed the country more times than she can count on her fingers!
How much wood CAN a woodchuck chuck?
“If we work off of the ratio of teeth to wood-pile size, the average woodchuck can work through the average pile of wood in 15 seconds. However, if the wood-chuck’s name is chuck then this time interval decreases exponentially, based on degree of chuckie. Phil and Lil and Tommy get in the way.”

TRUNKER SINCE: Freshman Spring (with Rafi!)
Trunk’s Most Ticklish Member, Yael is a honeydew loving gal who loves exploring the unknown! When not in class or jumping about as her favorite Trunk character Abel the Monkey, Yael can be seen making jewelry, doodling, having playdates with friends, or dancing with enthusiastic abandon. A cool secret talent that Yael has? She can balance on her head for two WHOLE minutes!
What music do Mummies like?
“Contrary to popular belief, mummies like classical music. Many believe that mummies are crazy creatures that like to rock and roll, but all mummies really want to hear is a good violin concerto.”
