Orchid Awards
Cincinnati Community Theaters are judged
throughout the year by a panel of critics appointed by ACT,
the Association of Community Theaters. In addition to
constructive criticism - that is used to improve and maintain
the quality of our productions - we receive recognition for
excellence in direction, performance, and the technical aspects
of our presentations. These are called Orchid Awards and are
given out every June. |
