Festival 2008
|
Downtown Guthrie’s historic Pollard Theatre will be the host stage for the 2008 Oklahoma Community Theatre Association Festival, July 24-27, 2008. The OCTA Festival co-chairs, Mary Patterson and Sharon Burum are putting the final touches on the agreement with Donald L. Coffin, Guthrie Arts & Humanities Council president and Katie King of the Pollard Theatre, home to Oklahoma’s year-round resident professional theatre company.
This is the first time the Oklahoma Community Theatre Festival will take place in Guthrie . “We are proud to bring OCTAFest to a thriving, tourism destination city which has steadfastly promoted the arts for more than a quarter century.” said Mary Patterson of the Cynthia Poteet Theatre, Oklahoma City.
“Hosting the state community theatre festival is a major coup for Guthrie,” Coffin said. “This is the signature event of Oklahoma community theatre. We are also proud and pleased about our affiliation with the state community theatre association, one of the most decorated in the nation.” “Those who attend in 2008 are assured of seeing another display of the nation’s finest community theatre offerings.”
More information will follow in special emails and newsletters. Carovilli Communications will be responsible for securing sponsors for the event. Volunteers are needed for the numerous committees that must organize the Festival. Call the OCTA office if you have a little or a lot of time to help (405-236-0788).
