College of Arts and Architecture Newsletter (Fall 2005) Wagons Ho! We’re rounding up the “Wagon Train” for a 30th anniversary reunion/performance to take place July 1–4, 2006, at Fort Roberdeau near Altoona, Pa., where the production will be the centerpiece of the 4th of July celebrations. The Bicentennial Wagon Train Show, composed by Bruce Trinkley, Penn State professor emeritus of music, Roger Cornish and Don Tucker, played more than 2,000 performances throughout the United States in 1975–76. Trinkley is planning the reunion with Manuel Duque, professor emeritus of theatre, who directed the show; Douglas Cook, former head of the Penn State theatre department, who produced the show; Montez King, retired faculty member in the School of Theatre, who designed the costumes; Del Boarts, retired staff member in the School of Theatre, who was responsible for the technical operations of the show; and Jerry James, alumnus of the School of Theatre, one of the stage managers of the production. If you’re interested in being a part of the July 2006 production, or want to reconnect with alumni who were involved in the original production, contact Bruce Trinkley at wbt1@psu.edu.mailto:wbt1@psu.edushapeimage_2_link_0
