I received the brochure “Princeton: Then and Now” in support of the Aspire campaign, and enjoyed seeing a photograph from the Triangle Club illustrating the arts at Princeton “then.”

The Triangle Club is justifiably proud of its long heritage and its position as the first performing arts organization at Princeton. But Triangle is prouder still of its contributions to the arts at Princeton today. Triangle continues to provide a creative outlet for writers, composers, performers, musicians, designers, theater technicians, and business staff, and continues to delight audiences on campus and across the country on our annual tour. Triangle still prepares and inspires students who go on to achieve success and recognition in the arts, winning Oscars, Tonys, and Emmys through the decades.

For close to 120 years, the Triangle Club has been responsive to change, as Charles Darwin suggests, which has assured that we have not merely survived, but thrived.

The Triangle Club is a perfect example of Princeton both then and now — and, we trust, will continue to be a vibrant force in the arts at Princeton for generations to come.
