Berenstain Bears Live! 

Sunday, March 13, 4:00 p.m. -5:30 p.m.

Adapted from the classic children’s book series by Stan and Jan Berenstain, The Berenstain Bears have another adventure to share. As always, Bear Country is not without its complications: Brother Bear’s grades are slipping, Sister Bear still has a few things to learn about making new friends, and Papa Bear just can’t stop eating junk food. Thankfully, we can always depend on Mama Bear and her loving patience to help set things right. The Berenstain Bears LIVE! gives boys and girls of all ages the chance to fall in love with these characters, just as their parents did. $20/ticket.
