On July 26 the DreamAneers visited the Boys & Girls Club for the last Hill City Public Library program of the summer. This team is led by Rich Mullaney, one of the artists featured at Art Forms Gallery in Hill City. He is both a carver and an author.  
 “I started doing carving basically following other people’s instructions since 1982,” said Mullaney. “Then about 1984, I picked up a piece of cottonwood bark. I just loved that.”

Hill City thespians had an opportunity to shine at the state one-act competition last Friday at Central High School in Rapid City, and shine they did. All the hard work, memorizing lines and practicing their performance again and again, paid off with a superior rating from the three-judge panel.
“The critique from the judges was the best I have ever had in my years of directing plays,” said Bryon Christian, director of “Mmmbeth,” a comedic rendition of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, the play the high school students performed last Friday.
