If there is a theme to the 2005-’06 Ostranders — Memphis’ answer to Broadway’s Tony Awards — it’s “anything goes.” The nominees in both the college and community divisions reflect a range of styles from the unswervingly traditional to the startlingly unconventional. This year’s Ostranders will be presented at the Memphis Botanic Garden on Sunday, August 27th. — Chris Davis
