You might remember that back in February Laura and I taught a crossword construction class for the Manhattan JCC. Well, we did it again in June and July, and of course it ended with us all constructing a full puzzle together. Hope you all enjoy it!
It’s Shakespeare time again! Tonight is opening night for Rochester Community Players’s free Shakespeare in the Park production of The Tempest (that’s assuming the actual tempest bearing down on Rochester right now spares us). If you’re anywhere near the Rochester area between now and July 26, please come and see the show. This is a dual-language (English/ASL) production, and each role will be shared between a speaking actor and a signing actor.
I’ve spent a lot of time on this over the last few months as one of the production managers – though not nearly as much time as the cast and crew have spent on it – which is why, even though I came up with this theme last year (we had originally planned to stage this show in 2020, but, you know) I didn’t finish actually constructing the puzzle until this week. You’d think over that time I would have come up with dozens, if not hundreds of potential themers, but it turned out that this theme doesn’t have as any possibilities and I’d imagined. Regardless, I’m still happy with how it turned out.
Since I’m planning to hand a bunch of these out at the show, I tried to keep the clues and fill a little more straightforward than usual. Since I’m still me, I kept some of the nonsense in anyway.
