ORCHID AWARDS

The Orchid Awards are presented at the end of each season determined by an adjudication system of providing three judges per production for each of the ACT of Greater Cincinnati member groups. Most organizations had to cancel at least one production due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Ohio regional and state conventions were also cancelled. The Southwest Regional had a 2020 ACT Cincinnati Virtual Awards Celebration on June 20th which is available to watch on YouTube.
