The play follows the adventures of Bear and Owl as they travel around Arkansas looking for Bear’s family and Owl’s glasses. The play, put on in cooperation with Trike Theater and the Walton Arts Center, teaches students about the different aspects of Arkansas through the characters they meet along the way.
