THE JEANNE ADAMS WRAY SPECIAL RECOGNITION AWARD
Many
Oklahoma
theatre persons were making big contributions to Oklahoma Community theatres
and to OCTA, however, they were not affiliated with a
particular community theatre. The JEANNE ADAMS WRAY SPECIAL RECOGNITION AWARD
was approved by the OCTA Board of Directors in 1989.
This special recognition award was dedicated to
the forethought and the stamina of Jeanne Adams Wray in forming the
Oklahoma Community Theatre Association and bringing international recognition
to the organization.
This award is to be given to those who have contributed
significantly, but indirectly, to the community theatre of Oklahoma.
The inscription for this award was approved by the OCTA Board
of Directors in 1989 to read as follows:
