Dear Neighbors and Friends,
While it may not feel like spring outside, the spring semester at Villanova is underway. As the days get longer and the temperatures rise, we look forward to seeing our neighbors on campus for performances, events, at The Refectory or simply taking a stroll.

Now Showing: Crazy for You, Directed by Rev. Peter M. Donahue, OSA, PhD
| |
Join us at the Topper Theater this month for George and Ira Gershwin's Crazy For You, directed by Villanova's Rev. Peter M. Donahue, OSA, PHd. Crazy for You opens on Thursday, February 15th. For more information on special events and tickets, please visit Villanova Theatre. From the Mullen Center: "Bobby Child, a reluctant uptown banker, dreams of dancing on Broadway–but instead of getting his foot in the door, it seems he’s always stepping on toes. When Bobby is sent to foreclose on a rundown theatre in Nevada, his luck takes an unexpected turn as he falls head-over-heels for the theatre owner’s daughter, Polly Baker. Set in the 1930s and scored with the infectious songs of George and Ira Gershwin, this firecracker of a musical showcases classic tunes like “I Got Rhythm,” “Embraceable You” and “Someone to Watch Over Me.” Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical, this madcap comedy “makes everything old feel new again” (New York Times)."

About the Gallery
Over the years, guest artists exhibiting at the gallery have come from as far away as Kuwait and as close to home as Philadelphia. The gallery has hosted exhibits of traditional watercolors from China, carved masks and totems from the Yoruba culture of West Africa, Batiks from Belorussia, and handcrafted ceramics and glassware from Italy. We have served as an inaugural venue for young artists and provided an exhibition space for talented older citizens whose discovery of the artist within came much later in life.
All exhibits are open to the public and are free of charge.
The Gallery is located in the heart of Villanova's main campus on the second floor of the Connelly Center.
