Hasty Pudding Theatricals (HPT) will once again present a check for $12,000 to the "Hasty Pudding Theatricals Cultural Endowment Fund" to support Cambridge public schools and their arts programs. Launched four years ago, the fund allows Cambridge public school students to pursue experiences in theater, dance, and the visual arts that would otherwise be closed to them. The check will be presented Nov. 11 at Cambridge Rindge & Latin School prior to a 7:30 p.m. student performance of "Little Shop of Horrors."

"Hasty Pudding Theatricals has always felt strongly that the arts are fundamental to the education of all students, young and old," said HPT President Josh Brener '07.

"We hope that our annual donation will make it possible for more lives to be enriched by the arts as ours have been."
