OCIC Updates!

Oh babies, the conference is simmering in the pot right now, and it's waiting for you to come take a little taste.

We currently have two troupes booked: I Eat Pandas and Amnesia Wars. A third is in the works.

This year, we are offering an economic stimulus deal: If you are confirmed, and we receive your check by March 20, the ticket will only cost $40 per person. This ticket will give you complete access to the following:

1) The professional troupes' shows
2) The exclusive OCIC party
3) Three workshops taught by members of the professional troupes
4) A slot in the Improv Till You're Dead marathon event
5) Free pizza and an invite to join us in our Surprise Sunday events!

I know this is a little pricey, but you really can't get this kind of value anywhere else. If you want to know where to send your checks, e-mail us at sunshinescouts@gmail.com!

OCIC 2009!

Hello everyone,

OCIC preparation is in full swing. What is the OCIC, you're asking?

The Oberlin College Improv Conference! OCIC is one of the largest student run improv events in the country. It brings together student and professional troupes from all over the country for a weekend of workshops, performances, and silliness. The hallowed event is Improv Till You're Dead, a Saturday night, no-holds-barred improv marathon with all of the student troupes. It's like an automatic improv machine gun.

Every year has brought together a different group of troupes, short- and long-form. We are always interested in new (and new to us) talent. If your school would like to be involved this year, give us a little hooty-hoo over at sunshinescouts (at) gmail (dot) com.

This year's conference will be held April 17-19 all over the Oberlin College campus, and the all-inclusive cost of events will be $45. This includes the professionals show, three Saturday workshops, the OCIC party, Improv Till You're Dead, and the Sunday discussions.

More information as it develops!
