Drum roll, please…
This summer we asked our faithful audience and members of the Trinity Rep staff to come together and brainstorm ideas for what our new blog should be called. After plenty of brilliant (and punny) ideas, we are happy to say that the new name is…
The Trinity Rep-orter
Clever and cute, this name is no stranger to Trinity Rep.
The Trinity Rep-orter was born in 1985 as a special four-page newsprint tabloid to provide theatergoers with additional information about Trinity Rep’s production of George Bernard Shaw’s Misalliance. Another issue was printed the following year to support the productions of The Tavern by George M. Cohan and Pasta by Tom Griffin. But Trinity Rep-orter began life in earnest in 1993 as a quarterly newsletter full of information about all aspects of Trinity Rep’s myriad activities. Printed in black and one color of ink on white newsprint and mailed to patrons, it bounced between tabloid and magazine formats and four and eight pages. It ran until the spring of 2006 — that fall it was replaced by The Trinity Square, a glossy full-color 32-page quarterly magazine which ran through 2012. After one year as an online-only magazine, a select amount of magazine content was merged with our then-digest-sized programs to be the magazine-format programs theatergoers now receive.
And there you have it! The Trinity Rep-orter returns to Trinity Rep – in blog form! Be sure to bookmark our page for behind-the-scenes content like our posts from our Arthur P. Solomon and Sally E. Lapides Artistic Director, Curt Columbus. The blog will also feature historical tidbits about the theater, information on special events like our Context and Conversation or First Chat series, first looks at scenery and costumes, as well as interviews with some of our resident company members. You’re going to want to stay tuned!
