CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Harvard University’s Hasty Pudding theater troupe says it has committed to start casting women in its annual production next year.

The group made the announcement Thursday at an event celebrating actor Mila Kunis as the organization’s Woman of the Year. Some had called on Kunis to reject the award over the group’s exclusion of women.

Kunis gave her support to the change, saying she “wouldn’t be here otherwise” and that it was “something very important to me.”
