Überboy Storms the Music Pier on Monday

The Greater Ocean City Theatre Company (OCTC) will present the world premiere of the musical "Überboy: The Story of a Hero" at the Ocean City Music Pier on Monday, August 5 at 10:30 a.m.

"Überboy: The Story of a Hero" is the tale of Bobby Roberts, a kid from Daring, Mich. and his dream to be a superhero. The year is 1959 and the whole country is scared of its own shadow!  Bobby teaches us that there is much more to a person than what we may see on the outside. School bullies, air raids, Russian espionage, bandits and aliens are no match for Überboy!

The show is co-written by John Anker Bow and Andrew Hink.

OCTC is thrilled to perform the world premiere of this musical that is so current to today’s youth. 

OCTC’s professional Children’s Theatre Series is under the direction of Anker Bow with Hink as Music Director and Rachel Marlowe as Choreographer. “So many special memories will be created as kids, families, and the young at heart enjoy live family theatre at an affordable price,” said Michael Hartman, Artistic Director.

Imaginative costumes, creative sets, talented performers, classic stories, favorite characters and the magic of live theatre will be a special part of the Summer Season in Ocean City.

All tickets are $10 per person.
