I went and saw the play “Hopscotch to Infinity,” written by Alejandro Canelos and directed by Betsy Kruse Craig, at The Invisible Theatre. There were eight adults in the cast, and they were all pretending to be kids in the play while they recreated some things that happened in their childhood school years. The play is about different activities that kids did in school, starting from second grade all the way to fifth grade. It was broken down into eight different scenes, and each one was an activity that students took part in during various school years.

The first scene was called "Hopscotch to Infinity,” which is the name of the production, and this scene took place in second grade. Some of the students (the cast) were making a really long hopscotch outside at school, and some other students wanted to use that space to play a game called Two Square. Another scene was in fifth grade, and it was called “Opposite Day” when they say things that are opposite of what they really mean. I can relate to “Opposite Day,” because kids in my class used to do that.

I went with my friend Colette and my mom. My mom said that she could relate to the scene called “Everybody or Nobody: A Valentine’s Story,” which was another activity in the play that had students, this time in fourth grade, having to follow the rule that they can pass out Valentine’s Day cards to everybody or nobody. My mom had to do that when she was a kid.

The theater was smaller than I expected, but it was really nice on the inside. We got front row seats so we could see the stage really well.
