THE BERENSTAIN BEARS...

in Family Matters the musical

The Berenstain Bears have enchanted young readers for generations. Now, Matt Murphy Productions presents a fun-filled new musical that weaves together three of Stan and Jan Berenstain's most popular books: The Berenstain Bears Learn about Strangers, The Berenstain Bears and Too Much Junk Food and The Berenstain Bears' Trouble at School.

There's trouble in the treehouse... Brother Bear has trouble with a school quiz, so he hides it in the cookie jar. Sister Bear makes friends with a frog and hides it in the cookie jar. Papa has been eating candy when he's supposed to be on a diet, and the wrapper ends up in the cookie jar... It's up to Mama to follow the cookie trail and sort things out!

We go outside for recess everyday... even when it is chilly! Please bring a coat to school EVERYDAY!
