Into the Circle - A Musical

Into the Circle - from Bullying to Belonging

"As the play unfolded I became Rishi Ra’Aacoon as he struggled to fit into a new community."

"...educational, delightful, wonderful lyrics & music, creative and sensitive while making a very strong statement about bullying."

A family of little animal folk moves to a new town hoping to improve their lives only to discover an environment passively supportive of bullying. The story follows the struggles of Rishi and his sister, Richelle two very different individuals who respond to their new environment in very different ways. Rishi, a dynamic dreamer extremely sensitive to the feelings of those around him, struggles to be accepted and to muster his courage. His sister Richelle rises to confront the town's attitudes and its talented, but misguided town bully, Bobby Badgerby. Under the compassionate guidance of the Earth Elders, representing the indigenous wisdom of all peoples, Rishi and the townfolk triumph over an atmosphere of exclusion and intimidation.

A wonderful storyteller, Glenn presents 'Into the Circle' as a performance/workshop with music for students and communities.

The play is also available for communities, theatre groups and schools to perform.

Glenn would like to express his appreciation to the Ontario Arts Council which provided a grant for the creation of this musical.
