Princeton University’s Triangle Club is the oldest collegiate musical-comedy troupe in the nation. Each season, the Triangle Club busies itself with a few major productions. Triangle presents a Freshman Week show in September, a revue featuring some of the Club’s best material and known for its all-out audience interaction. The original fall show goes up in November at the Tony Award-winning McCarter Theater, located just off the Princeton campus. This production then undertakes a ten-day tour around the country in December. Triangle also recently began a spring show tradition called The Rude Olympics, which showcases our writing talent in a smaller venue. Although theater professionals direct the fall show, Triangle shows are completely conceived, written, produced and performed by Princeton undergraduates.
