The “world’s foremost expert on the Berenstain Bears,” guitar-strumming Cowboy Joe, is the show’s stage director—introducing and commenting on a musical that brings to life the classic Berenstain Bears books in an entertaining way. The performance will weave together stories from “The Berenstain Bears’ New Baby,” “The Berenstain Bears and the Messy Room,” “The Berenstain Bears and the Double Dare,” “The Berenstain Bears Tell the Truth,” and “The Berenstain Bears Get Stage Fright,” allowing the beloved tales to leap from the page to the stage.
