Thanks for all who have supported the cast and crew for our festival show The Quest for Contrivance. While we did not move on to states, I am ao thankul for all the work these students have put in over the last couple of months. This was the largest group DISHS has ever taken to festival, and it was the largest production we’ve done there. It took an incredible amount of effort to get to the finish line, and they should all feel incredibly proud of their work.
