The Dakota Valley middle school production of “The One-Act Play Disaster” written by Don Zolidus brought a lot of laughs on Monday, March 13th and Tuesday, March 14th. Both performances took place on stage in front of full crowds. There were 56 DV Panthers, in grades 6th-8th, who took part in this 45-minute show. Director Cody Juffer described the group of students involved as a “fantastic, awesome, one-of-a-kind, middle school cast and crew.” Director’s Notes: “This cast and crew have been anything but a disaster! These students have worked so incredibly hard to get this production put together in an extremely short amount of time. I have been so very impressed by their willingness to go along with crazy ideas – their “can-do” attitudes certainly have been contagious!
