Shady Side Academy graduate and Harvard University senior Shaun Gohel was chosen to co-write this year's Hasty Pudding Theatricals show.
A well-known Harvard tradition, the Hasty Pudding Theatricals is the third-oldest theater group in the world and has seen famous faces participate that include Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Jack Lemmon, Mo Rocca and BJ Novak.
The Theatricals have presented the over-the-top student-written show since 1844 with sets and costumes that rival a no-holds-barred burlesque.
This year's show, titled HPT170: Intermission Impossible, ran from Feb. 3 to March 16, with performances in Cambridge, New York City and Bermuda.
Gohel is a 2104 SSA graduate and also a staff writer for the Harvard Crimson, a member of Harvard Student Agencies and Harvard Model Congress.
