“The OBP staff, cast, crew and community have been, hands down, the kindest, most authentic and insanely talented group of individuals I’ve ever known in the entertainment industry. After following OBP Musical on Tik Tok for months, I had decided to join their Discord and learn more. But after talking with Tory, and all the people both in and supporting this amazing show, I knew I had to be a part of it. I’m so inspired by this production and the people involved, this is a world where excellence meets acceptance and I’m blown away, and unbelievably thankful to be a part of it. Thank you OBP for seeing this creative, people-loving nerd for all that she is and welcoming her into your family.”
