Hinderaker inspires audience to “Change the World”

By Kayland Smyth

If a typical 9 year old were to write a list it would be entitled “Things I want to accomplish before I turn 10.” Unless of course you are John Chapman, the main character in Andrew Hinderaker’s play I Am Going to Change the World, directed by Jonathan Berry.  His list included goals of becoming a Billionaire by 35 and purchasing the Sears Tower. My first thought was “that kid has big dreams and I hope he achieves them. But that’s going to change by the time he’s in high school,” and it did; but not in the way I thought.
