COMP HPT.
The Hasty Pudding Theatricals is a Harvard student organization made up of over 50 Harvard undergrads. The company is broken down into five parts: Band, Business Staff, Cast, Creative, & Tech. Joining the Pudding was the best decision I made at Harvard and I could not imagine college without it. You should comp too.
BAND
Details: Band seeks out talented and fun individuals to fill our 11 person group. We hold independent auditions run by our Band VP and Musical Director. Auditions consist of a prepared piece, sight reading, and improvisation.

BUSINESS STAFF
Details: Our comp is one of the longest and most challenging comps at Harvard, however it is the most rewarding. Our Business Staff consists of 12 incredibly close members, each with an individual position. Together, they manage all the company’s finances, ticket sales, ad sales, tour to Bermuda, and much more. So, while the comp is filled with social events and other fun activities, it is also an unparalleled professional experience. Try it out and see if it’s right for you!
When: The comp spans both first and second semesters. Compers are welcome to join at any time!
