The first musical in history to win the Pulitzer Prize, Of Thee I Sing is a raucous, witty spoof of the American presidency — and Gershwin's glorious score has never felt more alive. This January, Villanova Theatre gives this work a stunning new voice in a concert performance featuring a 22-piece orchestra and the combined voices of student and faculty choirs, drawing on talent from across the University — all under the direction of Villanova President Father Peter Donohue, OSA.

For the ultimate Gershwin experience, consider making it a doubleheader: Opera Philadelphia presents Let 'Em Eat Cake — the irreverent sequel — the following week in Philadelphia.
