— Harvard University’s Hasty Pudding theatre troupe, the nation’s oldest collegiate theatrical organization, announced Thursday it will allow women to join its cast, starting next year. “The Hasty Pudding welcomes women to audition and to give equal opportunity to play those roles based on the quality of their individual talents,” Weeks said, reading from a letter issued by the organization’s governing board. Female students even have been auditioning for roles as a protest over the years, but none ever were cast. “Most of Hasty Pudding is women, they’re just not on stage,” she said. Later, Kunis gamely played along while the student-actors roasted her onstage before handing her the prize of the event: a golden pudding pot.
