'Midsummer' wins honors at regional OCTAFest
The Ohio Community Theater Association (OCTA) holds regional festivals around the state at which community theaters can present excepts from their productions. Springfield Civic Theatre was represented by the cast of "A Midsummer Night's Dream," directed by Nathaniel Beard, at the West Regional on July 11 at the Beavercreek Community Theater.
The 'Midsummer' cast was the only one in which every actor got an individual award: excellence in acting, Becky Malas; merit in acting, Rachael Tingley, David Laws, Jesse Edwards, and Addy Stelzer. Nathaniel Beard also earned merit awards in costume design and set design. Congratulations to all these talented folks!
