BACP members Bob Papisan, Joni Papisan and Louis Wagner round out the crew helping behind the scenes with sets, lighting and sound.

If you wish to donate more or have any questions please call Sherry at 918-258-0077. The journey to nationals started in April, 2009, when the BACP presented "The Gin Game" as part of its regular season. The play uses a game of cards as a metaphor to examine issues of relationships, family, and aging in America. It was produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc. Director Cherbini saw something very special in her two actors and decided this was a cast that could go a long way. And she was right. In July, 2011, the cast and crew won the Oklahoma Community Theatre Association's OCTAFest state one-act competition. "The Gin Game" was the winner of the Standing Ovation (Crowd Pleaser) Award. This award is voted on by non-participants who see all the plays in the competition and then vote for their favorite. And, Tom and Karyn received Outstanding Actor awards and were named to the All-State Cast. Now they've placed at the top of the regional competition and Tom Berenson and Karyn Maio were named to the Regional All Star Cast. HELP US CHOOSE THE SHOWS YOU SEE! Do you sometimes wish you had something to say about the shows offered at the Broken Arrow Community Playhouse? Well, here's your chance! The BACP invites all interested parties to get involved in choosing the shows that make it on our stage. The Play Selection Committee is forming to choose the 2012-2013 season and we'd love to have you join the committee or at least suggest the plays you'd like to see. If you're on the Play Selection Committe, you'll read plays you're unfamiliar with and offer your opinion on whether it should be part of the season. And, you get to vote for the list of shows that will be presented to the board for approval for the 2012-2013 season. It doesn't take a lot of time. And it can be a lot of fun. Especially, if one of the shows you want to see ends up on the list. If you're interested, call Sherry at 918-258-0077 and tell her to put your name on the list. If all you want to do is suggest a show you'd like to see, send us an e-mail to: playbacp@aol.com. We hope to hear from you soon. CHECKOUT OUR LATEST NEWSLETTER ON-LINE!!

Welllllll, maybe you have. If you're looking to liven up your next company outing, church social or club function, then make "The Committee Meeting" a part of it. "The Committee Meeting" is described as "a comedy for five women in one act," but it could also be described as any committee meeting held anywhere. The five woman one-act, "reader's theatre" comedy is a light-hearted look at a women's committee planning the church social. All five members appear eager to serve, but each has an excuse when it comes to taking real responsibility.
