Theatrical Scavenger Hunt Celebrating Winter Coming To Montauk

A scavenger hunt for all ages is coming to Montauk.

The Montauk Playhouse Community Center Foundation, in a cultural collaboration with the Neo-Political Cowgirls theater group, will present ”Zima!” an interactive theatrical scavenger hunt for all ages, held throughout Montauk village, on Saturday, February 27, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Zima, which means “winter” in Polish, will kick off at the Montauk village green gazebo, where participants will be offered a riddle to solve, piece by piece, by visiting several staged vignettes throughout Montauk village.

Each will feature elaborately costumed actors who will offer clues via brief theatrical performances. At the end, participants will be invited to the Playhouse for refreshments and to learn if they’ve solved the riddle.

The event is fun for all ages, offering a go-at-your-own-pace, outdoor, interactive, theatrical experience for the community, in celebration of winter, organizers said. New groups leave every 20 minutes from 1 p.m.

The suggested donation to participate is $5 per person. Advanced reservations (not required) may be made in advance at www.montaukplayhouse.org or by calling (631) 668-1124.

A rain date will be held on February 28.
