Each year, a committee of 7-13 members of the Harrison community actively attends O.A.C. productions put on by NorthArk Drama and the Theatre Company.  Their nominations for outstanding performances are submitted to a central person and the awards are presented during this event. 

Lisa Johnson, Ann Lemley, and Clark Middleton returned as the Master & Mistresses of Ceremonies. A portion of the evening was set aside for some special awards as well for recognition of the wonderful volunteers who devote time and energy to support of the Arts and the O.A.C. during the year.
