...women of one of their "only opportunities to act in a professionally-directed show" is completely false. This year alone, The Gondoliers, Guys & Dolls, Hamlet, the Visiting Directors Project, The Corn is Green, the Gilbert & Sullivan spring show and potentially others all had or will have professional stage or vocal directors. Rather, the Pudding is virtually the only show on campus that gives students, female and male alike, the opportunity to work closely with professionals in both the technical and musical sections of our company.

Actors in Pudding shows interact with professional directors, choreographers, costume designers, music directors, vocal trainers, etc. The Pudding show is also the only long-run production during the year, as well as the only company to gain national attention (for its Actress and Actor-of-the-Year Awards). Actors gain experience, exposure and prestige from being in the show...
