This year&rsquo;s conference theme is The Magical World of OCTA: A Wicked Good Time, and in order to truly immerse yourself in the theme, there are themed days throughout the weekend.&nbsp; Friday, September 4th is Disney Day! Grab those Disney t-shirts or even dress as your favorite character (Villains included)!&nbsp; Saturday, September 5th has two Universal themes: In the morning, it&rsquo;s Universal Day, consider showing up as a Jurassic Park dinosaur or a character from Nintendo World! There&rsquo;s a bevy of fun options. In the afternoon/evening, the theme is Harry Potter. Represent your house by wearing your house robes or a fun t-shirt! Are you a Hufflepuff or perhaps a Slytherin? Show that house pride! You could also portray your favorite character from the franchise &ndash; the sky&rsquo;s the limit! Sunday, September 6th is a fantastic mix of Disney and Uni versal.&nbsp; Sunday morning is Disney Royalty, and you know what that means! Become your favorite Disney Princess (like Belle or Rapunzel) or a Disney Prince (like Prince Charming or Prince Philip), a King or Queen, or the low-key version of a cool tee with your favorite Disney Royalty on it! Sunday afternoon is Wicked/Oz themed. Maybe you&rsquo;ll choose to dress up as Glinda, Elphaba, Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tinman, Cowardly Lion, or even Toto! Sunday night brings us to our banquet theme: Pink Goes Good With Green.&nbsp; Dust off that pink or green sparkly dress or suit and celebrate community theater in style! We&rsquo;ll have a wicked good time with awards, fun, a costume contest, a wand making contest and more! A splendiferous time is sure to be had by all at this year&rsquo;s OCTA State Conference.&nbsp; We can&rsquo;t wait to see how you&rsquo;ll choose to embrace these themed days
