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.
