> Hello all,

> Thank you to everyone who helped make our cultural show fun and successful, which not only includes the actors, dancers, singers, models, and magicians, but everyone who came and was part of the audience. We had a lovely time writing, choreographing, and rehearsing the show, which is the last major event organized by this year’s board!
