Neo-Political Cowgirls to Kick Off Winter Season with ZIMA! Scavenger Hunt

On Saturday, March 4, the innovative dance theater company, Neo-Political Cowgirls, will kick off their winter season by presenting their annual theatrical scavenger hunt, ZIMA! Partnering once again with The Montauk Playhouse, NPC is in their 7th year delivering this cold-season favorite.

"The word 'Zima' is Polish for winter," said Kate Mueth, NPC Artistic Director and Founder, "so the backdrop for this performance couldn't be more fitting." ZIMA! will be an interactive winter journey, combining mystery, poetry, theater and exploration. Participants will be given various clues while watching vignettes along their way through town and attempt to solve the given mystery. ZIMA! uses the elements of the outdoors to invite the audience to embrace the season and enjoy its unique qualities.

The journey begins at the Village Green in Montauk. From 2 PM, groups will depart every 20 minutes with the final group leaving at 2:40 PM. All tickets can be purchased at the event on the green at $5 per person. Perfect for all ages.

Additionally, on February 12, the Neo-Political Cowgirls will be hosting Eve Ensler's global movement One Billion Rising (for the Retreat) - an afternoon of music, movement, and community conversation to raise awareness about domestic violence. Appropriate for all ages, the event benefits The Retreat- the only domestic violence shelter on the East End. The performance is free for all, but donations for The Retreat are accepted at the door. It begins at 2:00 PM.

Anyone who may like to take part as a performer should contact Kate at npcowgirls@gmail.com.
