work has begun on Hasty Pudding Show number 114, which Walter Benson '62, producer, described last night as "a jab at nepotism in the Kennedy family." The play will be concerned with the tribulations of the Peace Corps in Africa.
Three authors were named by Benson: Carter Wilson '63 will write the book, walter H. Moses, Jr. '62 the music, and Alan H. Lutkus '63 the Iyrics. Moses and Lutkus collaborated on last year's production. Wilson, who has written and worked in the theater previously, will be turning out his first Pudding show.
Tryouts for production positions will start in early November, Benson said, although the casting does not begin until the first week of February. The play is scheduled to open March 21.
After opening, the Pudding show will play ten days in Cambridge, followed by an East Coast tour of seven days. The tour is tentatively scheduled for Washington, D.C. Philadelphia, Providence. Trenton, N.J., and New Canaan, Conn. this is the first time that a New York City show will not be included in the schedule.
