*Aurora Community Theatre Takes Top Honors at State Conference*

AURORA, OH (Sept. 3, 2008) ---- Ohio Community Theatre Association 
awarded top honors to Aurora Community Theatre for acting, directing and 
videography during the statewide group's annual conference, OCTAFest 
2008, in Columbus over Labor Day weekend.

Denise Bernstein and Rick Carter directed by Barbara L. Rhoades 
presented an excerpt of last season's bonus play, "Same Time, Next 
Year."  Rhoades received an Outstanding Award for directing, Bernstein 
an Excellence Award for acting and Carter an Outstanding Award for the 
original video that introduced the scene.

ACT was also recognized with individual and ensemble acting awards, as 
well as for set design, earlier this summer at the regional competition 
where "Same Time, Next Year" was selected to move on to the state 
competition .

The all volunteer cast and crew donated their time and the 
transportation of all costumes, video equipment and stage set, including 
a full-sized piano shell, to help draw attention to ACT's top quality 
productions.
