Drama Workshop shines at 2001 Regional OCTAFest

The 2001 Southwest Regional OCTAFest turned out to be quite an event. 13 community theater groups brought half hour long excerpts of shows from their respective seasons. The Drama Workshop performed their excerpt from Pride's Crossing on Friday night, and was very well received from the audience and judges. The following night at the awards banquet, Pride's Crossing was invited to perform at the 2001 State Convention on Labor Day weekend. The group also received several OCTA awards for their performance. Also presented during the evening were the 2000-2001 Orchid Awards presented by the ACT organization.
