It was about a boy named Nick from "Homeland" (a pretend, foreign country) who moves to Canada. -Kate
At first he didn't like it because everything was different and then he liked it because Mencha (a boy) was being really nice to Nick. -Ciera
Mag (a girl) and Mencha were not nice to Nick at first at school but then Mencha starts to be nice. Mag was still a bully to him. The play was really perfect. -Anthony
In the end, Nick and Mencha were best friends. Mag and Nick got along. -Addison
The actors were very serious and they didn't laugh when we laughed. -Addison
All the people in the play live in Winnipeg. The play was awesome because they were really good at acting. -Ciera
Two actors ate real stuff! One ate crackers and one ate pudding (or maybe applesauce). -Jaden
It was funny and it was nice. -Abbey
The whole play was in another language when the Canadian kids were talking. The author made it up because they wanted to make it for us to feel like we are the new kid that doesn't know the language. Everything they did at school was the same as us but just in the made up language. -Haylee
I thought this play was brilliant in that the author created a situation for the audience to experience coming to a new country where they don't understand a single word. The "newcomers", Nick and his mom, speak in English and the "Canadians", Mag and Mencha, speak in this made up language that has similarities to English. So we could kind of get the gist of what they were saying but really had to rely on watching their actions. It was also interesting to me how in the 45 minute play I could pick up some of the words they used and their meaning.
