Hasty Pudding Theatricals has chosen Paul Rudd to be its Man of the Year for 2018. In main, this is because of Rudd’s numerous roles in numerous projects, which have encompassed a remarkable range of genres. However, it should be noted that the people at Hasty Pudding Theatricals made a joke about Rudd looking the same since 1995, which contributed to their playful sense of awe. Regardless, while Hasty Pudding Theatricals might not be as well-known as some of the other organizations out there that hand out such awards, this is nonetheless a significant recognition.
What Is Hasty Pudding Theatricals?
At this point, a lot of people will be wondering what Hasty Pudding Theatricals is supposed to be. In short, it is as its name suggests in that it is a theatrical student society that can be found at Harvard University, which has become best-known in recent times because of its crossdressing musicals. It is interesting to note that Hasty Pudding Theatricals is a curious combination of the old and the new. For example, its performances make use of old-fashioned practices such as an all-male cast, an all-live pit orchestra, and intentionally silly plots stuffed full of crude collegiate humor. However, the student society is also famous for attracting talent as well as preparing them for further endeavors in the future, which explains why there are plenty of women found throughout its entire production process with the single exception of the cast. Combined, these characteristics provide Hasty Pudding Theatricals with a particular charm that cannot be found with ease elsewhere.
With that said, Hasty Pudding Theatricals might actually be better-known for the fact that it was founded in 1795, with the result that it is the single oldest organization of its kind throughout the whole of the United States. As a result, there have been a number of well-known names to have come from its ranks over the centuries, with examples including but not limited to Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and J.P. Morgan. Summed up, it is no wonder that Hasty Pudding Theatricals’s recognition is regarded with a fair amount of prestige, particularly since it has been handing out the Man of the Year awards since 1967.
Further Considerations
In celebration, Hasty Pudding Theatricals will be holding its annual roast on February 2. Perhaps unsurprisingly, hasty pudding is a real food, being a kind of porridge made using cornmeal with honey, molasses, and other possibilities, which was popular during the Colonial era because it was fast to make. Nowadays, it gets served as a dessert at Hasty Pudding Theatricals’s celebrations, which is interesting because no one actually knows whether people during the Colonial era ate it as a staple or a dessert. Regardless, Rudd won’t be the sole person to be celebrated by Hasty Pudding Theatricals, seeing as how Mila Kunis has been named its Woman of the Year at around the same time.
Those who are curious about Rudd’s current projects should know that he has a number of them scheduled to come out in 2018. He plays Ant-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, who is expected to show up not just in Ant Man and the Wasp but also the Avengers movie in 2018. Furthermore, he has three other movies called Mute, Ideal Home, and The Catcher Was a Spy that are scheduled to come out in 2018 as well.
