26 May 2017 Buddy Award Nominees Announced!
The annual Buddy Awards, an event hosted by Olathe Civic Theatre Association’s Board of Directors, is OCTA’s chance to say “thank you” to the many actors, crews, designers, volunteers, ushers, musicians, donors, and season ticket holders who have been an integral part of our season’s success. The awards recognize outstanding achievement across the season’s five regular season shows, recognizing actors, production staff, and special contributors. Award recipients are determined by votes from season ticket holders, special judges, and the OCTA Board of Directors.
If you were part of the season as any one of the groups mentioned above and you have not received an invitation, please write talk_to_us@olathetheatre.org.
