Obviously, there are things we need to tighten up going forward, but we were able to compete well and get a proper performance under our belt."
One-Act Director Mrs. Justine Fischer said, "I’m excited about how we competed at conference! We improved so much from our first performance just a few days earlier, and it was great to see our show really come together!
