Episode Synopsis
David Cregan came to Summer Stage in 1982 after his freshman year at Bonner. He fondly remembers Nancy Santamaria influencing his love of dancing, claiming that West Side Story was a remarkable experience. He went on to major in Musical Theatre at Villanova University. David received advanced degrees from Catholic University and Trinity College. David lived in New York City and performed professionally until he felt called into the priesthood, joining the Augustinian order in 1993. Father David now wears two hats at Villanova as Chair of the Theatre Department and the Associate Dean of the College of Professional Studies.
