Villanova has a fine reputation for its high-quality theater program. When I was a student, David Rabe was a faculty member. There were a variety of concerts each year as well.

Dress Code: Ya know, every now and then
I think you might like to hear something from us
Nice and easy
But there?s just one thing
You see we never ever do nothing
Nice and easy
We always do it nice and rough
So we're gonna take the beginning of this song
And do it easy
Then we?re gonna do the finish rough
This is the way we do proud mary
