Discover Trinidad & Tobago 2018 (#29)
Discover T&T has published 29 issues since 1991, and helps readers discover where to stay, dine, lime, party, and shop; and what to see (including the islands’ best sites) and experience (festivals, arts and culture, sports, and eco escapes), in both islands. There’s also a national calendar of events; info on getting here and getting around; tips for safe and sustainable travel; T&T history and society in a nutshell, maps; and more. For the third edition in the row, the magazine features a distinctive dual-cover design, with one cover for each island — a ruby topaz humming- bird photographed in the Arima Valley (photograph by Wendell Stephen Jay Reyes) and the relaxing scene of someone lounging atop a glass- bottom boat in the Nylon Pool (photograph by Tarique Eastman). Discover T&T is aimed at local and international explorers planning getaways to the islands — whether for an eco adventure, business trip, or beach holiday. For more: http://www.discovertnt.com

Theatre: our world onstage<br />
Productions of both local and foreign<br />
musicals, plays, and experimental performances<br />
are staged by commercial<br />
outfits like RS/RR Productions and Raymond<br />
Choo Kong Productions; theatre<br />
departments at the Universities of the<br />
West Indies (UWI) and <strong>Trinidad</strong> & <strong>Tobago</strong><br />
(UTT); and community theatre companies.<br />
There are stand-up comedy acts as well,<br />
plus a New Play Festival each October/<br />
November. Look for shows at Queen’s<br />
Hall, the National Academy for Performing<br />
Arts (NAPA), Central Bank, Little Carib,<br />
Big Black Box, <strong>Trinidad</strong> Theatre Workshop<br />
(Port of Spain, which was founded by Nobel<br />
Laureate Derek Walcott); CLR James<br />
Auditorium in the east; and Naparima<br />
Bowl and SAPA (the southern campus of<br />
the NAPA) in San Fernando.<br />
Film & cinema<br />
The film industry has long been earmarked<br />
for growth, and incentive and rebate<br />
programmes have made the islands<br />
an attractive location for filming. Work<br />
by locally-based and Caribbean diaspora<br />
artists are on show at the annual T&T<br />
Film Festival (see our Festivals section),<br />
and some get runs at local cinemas like<br />
MovieTowne and Caribbean Cinemas 8<br />
locations, and IMAX in Port of Spain. The<br />
UWI Campus Film Classics and European<br />
Film Festival (usually in May) host special<br />
screenings of regional and foreign<br />
indie films.<br />
