Your Impact

You make the magic of the Pudding possible. Ticket sales only cover a fraction of The Hasty Pudding Theatricals’ annual production costs.

As a non-profit theater, The Pudding relies on the generosity of our supporters to keep this almost 200 year tradition alive. Each year 48 undergraduate students work together to write, compose, and produce an original musical comedy that is then performed 8 times a week. At the same time, our company balances a rigorous academic load and other extracurricular activities. This production truly is a labor of love and would not be possible without the support of our generous donors, supportive Graduate Board, and hardworking professional team.

Every dollar you give goes 100% toward supporting our productions: from the stitches on our costumes to the props on our stage. Thank you to all our donors and patrons.

The Hasty Pudding Theatricals is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and all gifts are tax deductible for federal income tax purposes in the amount that exceeds goods and services provided.
