Cabaret is coming!
AISC’s biggest talent show is back! Cabaret-e-Mehfil takes the stage on April 17, from 6:00–7:30 PM—an evening where AISC’s finest homegrown talent will enthrall the community.

Over 50 middle and high school students are rehearsing hard to bring you a night to remember. Don’t miss the magic—see you at the Cabaret-e-Mehfil!
