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!

Featuring music, book and lyrics by Michael Borton, The Berenstain Bears Live! in Family Matters: The Musical premiered at Walnut Street Theatre in 2009. For the national tour produced by Matt Murphy Productions (Broadway productions of Memphis, Thurgood, Impressionism, Altar Boyz,) co-bookwriter Michael Slade (Theatreworks USA's Superfudge, Lyle Lyle Crocodile) was brought on board, along with the staging and design team behind Theatreworks USA's hit production of Junie B. Jones: Director Peter Flynn, Choreographer Devanand Janki, Scenic Designer Luke Cantarella, and Costume Designer Lora LaVon. After a brief NYC-area regional tour in May 2010, The Berenstain Bears Live! in Family Matters: The Musical began its national tour in fall 2010.
