Hasty Pudding Theatricals

[2] Its annual production is a musical comedy that often touches on topical social and political issues.

On December 13, 1844, the Pudding put on its first full performance - William Barnes Rhodes' burlesque opera Bombastes Furioso.

After a period of producing popular comedies by established playwrights, student members of the Pudding began to write their own shows, starting in 1882 with a production of Dido and Aeneas by Owen Wister.

The cast was limited to only men (often performing in drag) until 2018,[4] though women played a role in the company for many years, primarily as costumers.

Concordia Discors is the official motto of the Hasty Pudding, literally meaning: Discordant Harmony, or organized chaos, in English.
