Penn State students trying to remember what it felt like to be young and innocent will be in luck this weekend.

No, it's not a dry weekend. A live performance of the popular children's television show Go, Diego, Go! will be on stage for two shows Thursday at the Bryce Jordan Center. According to www.nickjr.com, the show is interactive and encourages participation from audience members.

Then again, it might be time to finally grow up.

"[I would go] but not seriously for wanting to go see it for its entertainment value, more for a joke," Katie Thorn (freshman-world languages education) said. "It wasn't on until like two years ago. My childhood was watching cartoons like Rocko's Modern Life."

The story follows the adventure of Diego and his friend Baby Jaguar as they prepare for a big party called the Animal Carnivale.

The Carnivale is an annual event held at the Great Pyramid and begins when the Carnivale chief makes a particular sound.

Baby Jaguar is this year's chief, but on the way to the Carnivale, the rascally Bobo brothers make an appearance and steal Baby Jaguar's growl, according to the Web site.

Diego and Baby Jaguar then embark on a journey to recapture Baby Jaguar's growl with the audience's help. Throughout the adventure, audience members get the chance to sing, dance and travel along with Diego and Baby Jaguar, according to the Web site.

The show -- if you haven't figured it out -- is targeted toward a younger crowd.

"This is for younger children, so you'll see a lot of classrooms. The young children are very familiar with Diego and Dora based on their Nick Jr. show," said Bernie Punt, director of sales and marketing for the BJC.

Punt said he expects the audience to be primarily children aged 2 to 6 with their parents or grandparents. He said the show will draw people from all over central Pennsylvania.

"It's good that they're trying to target families that live in State College even though it's a college town," Meredith Pompeani (freshman-theatre design) said.

Punt said a few Penn State students might have a reason to attend the show.

"If [the students] are in early childhood education," he said, "they may have internships where they take field trips."

This is not the first time the BJC has hosted shows geared toward elementary-aged children. Past shows have included Dora the Explorer and The Wiggles.

"They are very popular in our area. We've had a number of shows with that age," Punt said.

The show, keeping in mind the shorter attention spans of children, has two 35-minute acts and one 20-minute intermission.

The show also incorporates the excitement of the adventure with education.

"The show is very interactive. The characters are going to be talking to the audience," Punt said. "The performance is in English, but Diego uses Spanish words and phrases to teach about animals and their surroundings."

Getting in touch with your inner child is one motivation for college students to go.

Despite the fact that Go, Diego Go! has only been around for two years and is meant for 4-year-olds, at least one student said she'd be interested.

"I don't know, I think it would be fun to go with a group of friends just to be random," Pompeani said. "It's always fun to do things you wouldn't normally do in college."
