Experts say kids who are bullied often feel powerless against their oppressors. And that’s true of Alex, the main character in the play Alex and the Magic Staff. That is until he is swept off into another dimension where he saves a kingdom and gains the courage to face his problems back at school. Children can watch this hour-long play at the Steele Lane Community Center in Santa Rosa on March 8 at 7 p.m., March 9 at 1 and 3:30 p.m., and March 10 at 3 p.m. Tickets are $5 and may be purchased at atheaterforchildren.com or at the door.
