...demonstrates, fairy tale satires are hardly a new concept. However, the creators of this year's Hasty Pudding show, set in a fairy tale land gone bad, are aiming to offer a fresh take on the genre, complete with signature Pudding style.For its 160th production, the Hasty Pudding Theatricals (HPT) will perform "Fable Attraction," which features such characters as a communist-minded Little Red Riding Hood and Mia Pharaoh, a villainous, mummified Egyptian queen. This year's script and lyrics were co-written by Kathleen H. Chen '09 and William Brian C. Polk '09.The show is still very much...
...more occupants next month, drawing the curtain on more than two years of renovations. Recently dubbed the New College Theatre, the venue will host some of the 40 to 60 productions Harvard undergraduates organize each year.

But it is understandable to feel strong emotions after your first time: bewilderment, confusion, sometimes violation. I suggest Richard Beck return to Zero Arrow. Give it another go. Tell me if it doesn’t grow on you and, before you know it, you?...
...cast and the face of the HPT. Including the cast, I’d say one-third of the company is women. It’s really not as skewed as you’d think. That being said, the majority is still men. There is a Women of the Pudding organization, though. We meet every week or so, and we do so to remind ourselves that we are women in a male organization—we realized that there should be more of a forum for the issue. Women are not a silent minority...
