Actor Allusion: During Brooke Shields' time with the club, Triangle took every opportunity to make joking references to her life and fame, culminating in a biography paragraph in the program for her senior year show that, tongue firmly in cheek, predicted show business success for her and wishing her luck.
Hey, It's That Guy!/Retroactive Recognition: Perusing photos and playbills of past shows can turn up familiar faces and names (some more so than others, but still...):
- Booth Tarkington 1893
- F. Scott Fitzgerald 1917
- Joshua Logan '31
- James Stewart '32
- José Ferrer '34
- Bo Goldman '53
- Wayne Rogers '56
- Clark Gesner '60
- Jeff Moss '63
- David E. Kelley '79
- Douglas McGrath '80
- Cecil "Heidi" Hoffman '84
- Gene Lewin '84
- Robert Schroeck '84
- Louis Bayard '85
- Lorraine Goodman '85
- Maria Ressa '85
- Brooke Shields '87
- Jac Schaeffer '00
- Ellie Kemper '02
- Molly Ephraim '08
Shout-Out: The opening lines of Avenue Q -- "The sun is shining, it's a lovely day / a perfect morning for a kid to play" -- sung by the appropriately-named Princeton, appear to echo the first lines of the perennial opener for the Freshman Week show, "What A Morning":

What a morning, what a beautiful day
The sun is gleaming through the trees.

Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon: Because Brooke Shields '87 has a Bacon Number of 2, anyone who was a Triangle member between 1983 and 1987 automatically has a Bacon Number of 3.
