The graduate board was completely restructured after the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) acquired the building from the Institute of 1770 in 2000. The Institute was a graduate board composed of alumni of the Theatricals, the Hasty Pudding Social Club and the a capella groups the Krokodiloes and the Pitches.

With the FAS acquisition of the Holyoke Street building, the graduate board lost much of its direct financial control of Theatricals activities.

The acting president of the graduate board could not be reached for comment last night.

Serveral Theatricals alumni refused comments yesterday.

“At this time I have no comment,” wrote last year’s president of the Theatricals Christopher M. Hans ’01 in an e-mail.

Demashkieh and Bress also told alumni in the e-mail that they are satisfied with the investigation.

Several Theatricals executives and members of the business staff did not respond to repeated calls.

President of the Theatricals Gregory C. Padgett ’02 refused to comment, saying it was “the official position of the Hasty Pudding Theatricals not to comment.”

But he said that Pudding members might attend Pomey’s and Gomes’ arraignments tomorrow.

“It’s a public arraignment. I’m sure many people will be there,” Padgett said.

Pomey and Gomes are required by law to attend their arraignments in person.

The e-mail also reassured alumni that recent successes would allow Theatricals activities—including the upcoming Man and Woman of the Year awards and the drag musical “Snow Place Like Home”— to continue unaffected.

“The Hasty Pudding Theatricals has fortunately enjoyed great financial success in the last five years, and as a result this theft will not impact this show or future shows,” the message said.

Meanwhile, the executive board of the Theatricals broke their public silence on Saturday, issuing a brief statement to the media saying that the allegedly withdrawn funds would not affect their current or future productions.
