​The sold out 2015-2016 DASH Gala rocked the Arsenal Center!The annual EMACT DASH Gala rocked the house on Saturday, August 27, to a sold out crowd at the Arsenal Center for the Arts in Watertown. Thanks to all those who helped to make the Gala a huge success, including our many volunteers who planned the event & assisted with setup and breakdown, the catering and bar staff, the hardworking team at the Arsenal Center, the technical crew, our performers, our hosts, and all the attendees & participants in the 2015-2016 DASH program. We hope you had as much fun as we did! We’re already looking forward to next year!
