Hats Off! Awards
Purpose: To recognize individuals and families who represent the continuing commitment,
the artistic and personal growth, and the willingness to contribute to all
areas of productions that are the heart and soul of OSHP.
Everyone who works with OSHP deserves recognition and our deepest thanks. The people
honored with these awards have been selected as representatives of the Straw
Hat spirit that is in all of us, the spirit of selfless dedication, service
to the group as a whole, and the striving for excellence that we all aspire
to. In honoring these people, we honor everyone who helps make OSHP possible.
