Some words from...

Bishop John J. Dougherty
Seton Hall President (1959-1969)

"It is true that 'all the world’s a stage' but as far back as classical Greece the stage has been confined to a much more restricted space. I have wandered through the ruins of theatres in Athens, Ephesus and elsewhere. Back home in South Orange, sitting in the President’s chair and planning the Student Center, I was able to realize a dream and have made a Theatre-in-the-Round a feature of the Student Center. For some 20 years now that stage has come to life with actors, student and professional, expressing the woe and weal, the agony and ecstasy of the human predicament. My hope for the Theatre-in-the-Round is that it will not only move the 'conscience of the king’ but also move the general audience to laughter and tears."
