See a play. Meet a stranger. Have a conversation. That is the park's three-line pitch for The Crossword Play, which Potential Energy Theatre brings to Ijams Nature Center on Sunday, October 25 at two. The full title is The Crossword Play (or Ezmeralda's Gift), by Donna Hoke, directed by Daniel Bird Tobin and performed by Erika Lee Sengstack, and the listing calls it a combination theatrical play and puzzle-making seminar: you meet the Puzzlemaker, watch a crossword constructed in front of you and learn how to make one, and along the way experience how a puzzle can change a life.
It runs ninety minutes, to three thirty, at the visitor center on Island Home Avenue. The park asks you to register on its calendar; no ticket price is listed. The Scruffy Roots Fest at Kern's is playing the same afternoon, a ten-minute drive back toward the river, if the day wants music after the puzzle.
