By: Jerri Shafer Jun. 10, 2016
The Ohio Community Theatre Association (OCTA) held its Central Region Festival on Saturday June 4th at Kenyon College, Gambier, Ohio. This is a juried festival where the community theaters perform a portion from one of their shows from the past season. Excerpts were by MTV Arts' The Miracle Worker, Out of the Box Productions' Drinking Habits, Little Theatre Off Broadway's Escanaba in Da Moonlight, Licking County Players' The Taffetas, Alcove Dinner Theatre's Saving Up For Saturday Night, Chillicothe Civic Theatre's Steel Magnolias, and Star Players' The 25th Annual Putnum County Spelling Bee.
Many of the theater's cast and production staff received awards. Lee & Mimi Ninde received the Spirit of Community Theatre Award for their dedication to their community through theater. Alcove Dinner Theatre and Little Theatre Off Broadway received the Theatrical Excellence Award for their excerpts and were invited to compete in the State's OCTAfest later this year during Labor Day weekend.
