There is also a special matinee show on Friday at 10:00 a.m. Directed by Cameron Zamagni and assisted by Arielle Keller and Megan MacDonald, The Legend of Benji Barlow was written to address the issue of bullying in schools. Ben Sack and Cameron Zamagni were the writers.
A middle school boy who is unaware of the bullying that goes around him is assigned a paper to write about the topic. In the process of learning about bullying, he becomes horrified and decides to take a stand. He dons a secret identity and soon becomes known as the Bully Buster. Eventually, he learns a valuable lesson - that vigilantism can be in itself bullying. This show is suitable for all ages.
