Fort Bragg magician Robert Goleman brings “The Joy of Astonishment – An Evening of Magic and Mentalism” to the Willits Community Theatre for two shows on May 22 and 23 at 7:00pm. Goleman’s dynamic and engaging two-hour event opens with traditional magic and seamlessly transitions into acts of mentalism, featuring extensive audience interaction and participation. He promises to lift spirits, rekindle curiosity, and remind us that joy, laughter, and astonishment can transform our outlook. Early tickets are recommended, as his previous shows at WCT have all sold out. Tickets are $25 and available online at: wctperformingartscenter.org, or at the door.
Mean Girls Jr. is a sharp, funny, and high-energy musical that explores the realities of friendship, identity, peer pressure, and growing up in today’s social world. While the production is filled with humor, heart, and memorable music, it also includes mature themes, strong language, and social situations that may be best suited for older audiences.
For this reason, we recommend this production for ages 13 and up. Parents and guardians are encouraged to use their own discretion based on the maturity level of their child.
