2015 Toaster Award Winner!
Published: August 14, 2015
This person joined OMP in spring 2007 – and initially was hesitant to commit to the group because he didn't know how much free time he had available.
However, after Hot Mikado, this person quickly integrated into the group making friends, performing with the chorus, and playing various roles on stage... In Sorcerer (2 times!) Pinafore, Patience, Iolanthe, Gondoliers, and Ruddigore.
This lyric baritone soon found his many skills being highly sought after for directing, set design and construction... in Ruddigore, Grand Duke, Mikado, Gondoliers, Utopia, Sorcerer, and Yeomen of the Guard. Of course - he readily accepted helping out in just about every aspect of OMP shows whenever he could.
He was invited to join the Revue Group and continued to offer his talent and skills to OMP while also performing w/other groups around town. In addition to his work with OMP, he performed with groups such as DARC theatre, First Light Players, Phelps-Clifton Springs Community Theatre and Everyone’s Theatre Company. - He was definitely a crowd favorite to watch on stage.
Given all that, it’s so no wonder all the aesthetic maidens swarmed him in Patience, a photo of which graces our patron rack card...
Always kidding and joshing, with a smile for everyone, truly warm and caring and beloved by all. Known to some as “SOABO” This year's toaster award is presented posthumously to Bob Osgood, who sadly passed away earlier this year.
He will not be forgotten.
