Bear Country comes to Oskaloosa
Berenstain Bears
OSKALOOSA, IA — The Berenstain Bears, stars of the popular children’s books, are coming to Oskaloosa’s George Daily Auditorium on November 16th at 7 p.m. – in musical form! See Bear Country come to life and learn about honesty, health, safety, and the importance of family. Perfect for a family night out, don’t miss the show that Time Out New York calls “spirited, energetic, and hilarious for all generations!”
In this professional musical production filled with fun songs and dancing, the Berenstain Bears learn important life lessons. Brother gets a bad grade on a test at school. At first, he tries to hide his troubles but soon realizes opening up to his family is the best way to help solve his problems. Sister gets a little carried away as she starts saying “Hello” to everyone she meets at the Village Green. Finally, when Doc Grizzly points out that the Berenstain Bears are eating way too much junk food, it is a tough pill to swallow, especially for Papa, who rips his overalls (exposing his red polka dot underwear!) trying to show off how fit he is. Everyone’s secret is revealed when Mama finds Brother’s test, Papa’s junk food wrappers, and Sister’s new friend, Mr. Frog. In the end, it becomes clear to each of the Berenstain Bears that what truly matters is family.
Stan and Jan Berenstain originally published The Berenstain Bears in 1974 and have gone on to publish over 300 new books, create three animated television series, and a feature-length movie. The Berenstein Bears LIVE! in Family Matters the Musical is an adaptation of three of The Berenstain Bears’ most beloved books: The Berenstain Bears Learn About Strangers, The Berenstain Bears and Too Much Junk Food, and The Berenstain Bears’ Trouble at School.
This fun family musical, sponsored by C.L. Barnhouse Co., is appropriate for Mamas, Papas, and Young Cubs of all ages. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students and are available through the George Daily box office at (641) 672-0799 or online at www.georgedaily.org.
