OCTA
HALL OF HONOR AWARD
This
award was suggested by Denny Vick during his term as Executive Director of
OCTA, in 1986. It was originally proposed as the OCTA Hall of Fame.
During the OCTA Board of Directors discussion whether to approve the
presentation of this award, it was agreed to call this award the “OCTA HALL OF
HONOR AWARD.” The OCTA HALL OF HONOR AWARD is OCTA¹s
highest recognition for lifetime achievement in service to Oklahoma nonprofit theatre and to OCTA.
This award is to be given to an OCTA member who had
accomplished significant things for OCTA. There were no written
guidelines on determining a recipient.
There were no set number to be inducted each year for the
reason that there would be years that none will be given.
The inscription for this award was approved by the OCTA Board
of Directors in 1989 to read as follows:
