Songs & Shows

For our Spring 2012 revue, any song from “Summer Lovin’” (Spring 2009) and before it can be re-proposed, just remember that older songs may have already been re-proposed!

This semester OBOC chose it’s show title earlier and used skits to develop an overlying theme to the show.  The theme centered around the internet and memes- two OBOCians were sent into the Internet and came across Miss Teen South Carolina, Nyan Cat, Good Guy Greg, Rick Astley, and much more!  This semester OBOC also participated in UnCommon Night during Orientation and was a part of URPerforming at Todd Theatre.  Workshops continued to be a strong part of the semester; some highlights included TOOP hosting an Acting Workshop for us and David Runzo coming in and critiquing our small groups.

Change came to OBOC in a big way with the addition of a pit orchestra and a small skits to fill the spaces between numbers.  The songs sounded better with real instrumentation underneath them, and audience members agreed that the skits really moved the show along.  Our metric for skits was: “Is this funnier than sitting in the dark waiting for people to change costumes?”

A mention should also go to Samara Schwartz and Gabriel Fanelli for making the pit orchestra a reality, under Alex Georgieff’s leadership.  Greg Skipton and Phil Fleisher led the team authoring skits.
