"I couldn't imagine doing the show with anyone other than the cast and crew we had. My character, Deloris, was searching for a sense of community. That was my biggest takeaway because I felt like I also found a community with the DSHA cast and crew throughout the experience."
~ Sandrine Biagui, DSHA '23
