“When George Fulton contacted us about needing a photo of our Soda Cap trolley for the poster he was developing for the play, we thought it would be great to partner with Trustus Theatre for a co-promotion”, said Marketing and Public Information Officer, Pamela Bynoe-Reed. “We connected with Chad Henderson at Trustus and are thrilled to offer some lucky riders a night out on the town in appreciation for riding our beloved trolley.”
