"Ony, the Runaway Circus Bear" - A Rock Opera!

Written by RhubarbTheBear, "Ony, The Runaway Circus Bear" is an original rock musical for kids and kids-at-heart, performed live onstage!

Circus life is all Onesimus The Great (call him Ony; it saves time) has ever known. When Ringmaster Phil’s demands become too strict, the acrobat bear escapes one night for his first taste of mundane life. Will he be drawn back into show business, or find deeper meaning beyond the great tent?

Featuring Cosmik as Ringmaster Phil, Bennie as bandleader James King, Buddy Goodboy as Paul the ex-lawyer, Pepper Coyote as pediatrician Dr. Lucas, Sue The Deer as 8 year old Tabitha, and Rhubarb The Bear as “his famous and more talented dad, Ony”.
