Other musical numbers include "Afterlife Goes On," "Livin' Libido Loco" and "Shot, Stuffed and Smitten," which Grandy describes as a "sexy, romantic song."

None of the scenes are set in stone however. The pair will have to revise their work in conjunction with the show's director and producer until winter break.

The production schedule kicks off with a special parade and performance for the Theatricals' 50th Woman of the Year, to be announced in late January. The Man of the Year attends opening night one week later.

HPT President Sarah A. Knight '00 said the six-member executive board chose "The Jewel of Denial" from four submissions.

All of the writing teams had to undergo a script comp, in which Knight and other Pudding executives correspond with authors throughout the summer until the scripts are turned in at the beginning of the school year.

"We read the scripts out loud and were bowled over by how good they were," Knight said. "We could not have had a bad show no matter what."

After the executives decided on Dudley and Grandy's submission, they toasted the pair with champagne at Upstairs at the Pudding.

Both Dudley, an economics concentrator, and Grandy, who studies astronomy, express some curiosity in continuing in the playwriting field.
