ABOUT THE PRINCETON TRIANGLE CLUB
Founded in 1891, the Princeton Triangle Club is the oldest collegiate musical-comedy troupe in the nation, combining the zest and energy of Princeton undergraduates with the discipline and polish of professional theater. The Triangle Club includes over 100 students—writers, composers, marketers, technicians, and performers—who come from diverse backgrounds and academic interests but share a passion for musical theater. The students conceive, write, produce, and perform in every Triangle show, while experienced theater professionals help guide the design and production.
Each year, the Triangle Show makes its world premiere in November at the McCarter Theatre in Princeton, New Jersey, affectionately referred to as “The House That Triangle Built.” Then, the students go on a multi-city tour in January of the following year, delighting audiences across America. The Triangle Club boasts a long list of distinguished alumni including F. Scott Fitzgerald ’17, Jimmy Stewart ’32, Brooke Shields ’87, Ellie Kemper ’02, and Catherine Cohen ’13.
