d.a.s.h. “dream”

The 30 or so participants of Tacoma’s D.A.S.H. Center for the Arts’ summer arts program CLUB FAME will present their own adaptation of William Shakespeare’s “MidSummer Night’s Dream” this weekend. These young people have devoted the last six weeks to learning techniques in ballet, jazz, hip-hop dance, acting and singing.  This is the theater debut for most of these children.
