Jennifer Daly Maienza was featured in a PAW podcast recorded at the 2015 Reunions, looking back on her experiences with the Triangle Show. The interview is avaliable on iTunes, and PAW provides a transcript of Maienza's comments, including this excerpt:
Triangle I stayed with all four years. I sang and danced my way through high school and continued it on and loved it. It meant a lot to me. For a shy girl with a stutter, that’s where I could come alive, on stage. I did the Reunions shows, I did the “ding” shows, I did the tours, the whole kit and caboodle.
There was one show, I think it was my junior year. We were driving to Buffalo in the bus, and a girl who had the lead in the dance — the dance solo in the big 20-minute very serious and meaningful as only Triangle can be dance number, on, I think the poor in New York City, something ridiculous like that — she sprained her ankle. So I had to step in, because I can dance, and I learned the entire thing dancing up and down the center aisle on the bus. It was kind of weird — it was the only practice I had because we got there and got changed and did the show. But somehow we pulled it together and I pulled it off.
PAW's Brett Tomlinson interviewed other classmates, and those comments will be posted as they appear on the PAW site.
