CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — A storied Harvard theatrical troupe is honouring “Jurassic World” star Bryce Dallas Howard at the debut of its first performance with a co-ed cast.

The university’s Hasty Pudding Theatricals has named the 37-year-old actor, producer and director its 2019 Woman of the Year and is feting her with a parade and roast Thursday.

The nation’s oldest collegiate theatrical organization will also preview a new production featuring a cast of men and women.

The historically all-male troupe announced last year it would cast women, reversing a policy that alumni and students have protested in recent years.
