Harvard-Radcliffe Club of Westchester

The Hasty Pudding Theatricals has presented its unique brand of student-written theater every year since 1844, making it the third oldest theater organization in the world as well as a beloved Harvard tradition. Join us on our New York tour to catch these dames putting the broad in Broadway in HPT 171: France France Revolution!

 

Vive la france! Thanks to Queen REINA TERROR and her evil regime, Paris is in ruins. When Reina’s pompous right-hand man NEVILLE LETCHAGUARDOWN seizes sweet, southern bovine BELLE ROUNDERNECK, the townspeople are fed up—and not just by baguettes! Town butcher PHIL AYMIGNON leads them in la révolution with the help of overly optimistic but devilish girl scout SELMA COOKIES and brainless but lovable blacksmith JACQUES OVALLTRADES. Meanwhile, Phil’s love for exuberant Princess THERESA SPARKINME is challenged by their allegiances to opposite sides of the revolution. As Reina tries to send the Princess off to Siberia to wed arrogant Russian Prince EMMANUEL HAFTAMARRY, Theresa will have to choose between being obedient and following her heart. Will wacky mime PAUL AYVOUSFRANÇAIS stay loyal to Reina? Will pirate-parrot duo BARRY METREAZURE and IVY LEEVAYECANFLY ever find the booty they seek? Will DESDEMONA LISA finally meet a man after being stuck inside that darn painting for the last 300 years?We shall Merci in HPT 171: FRANCE FRANCE REVOLUTION!
