The Broken Arrow Community Playhouse took top honors Sunday at the regional competition of the 2011 American Association of Community Theaters Festival in Lewisville, Texas.
Its production of D.L. Coburn's "The Gin Game" was one of two entries selected to go on to the national competition, to be held in June in Rochester, N.Y.
Also moving on is "Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenaged Blockhead," by the Ohlook Performing Arts Center in Grapevine, Texas.
Another Oklahoma company, Ponca City's Ponca Playhouse, was named Second Alternate for its production of "Proof."
BACP first staged "The Gin Game," about a couple of residents at a retirement home whose friendly game of cards becomes a war of ideas and words, in 2009. The original cast -- Tom Berenson and Karyn Maio, along with director Martha Cherbini -- won the 2010 Oklahoma Community Theater Association's OCTAfest, with Berenson and Maio being named best actors.
Theatre Tulsa will present the BACP production of "The Gin Game" as its final production of the season, May 6-8 and 10-13 at the Tulsa PAC. For tickets:

A portion of the proceeds from this engagement will go to helping the Broken Arrow troupe finance its trip the national competition. The BACP is also accepting donations for this effort. For information,
