The young actors in ArtsWest‘s Summer Apprenticeship Program are getting ready to open this year’s show, the musical “Chess,” two weeks from tonight. And as befits a production centered on a game, ArtsWest itself is inviting the community to play one, which they describe as a treasure hunt of sorts – “Find the Queen.” They’re posting a clue a day on the ArtsWest Facebook page, and your job is to figure out who/what/where the Queen is – AW says “it’s a person, location, or thing” – then take a picture of yourself with “the Queen” and post it on the AW FB page. First correct post wins the prize, which is two tickets to “Chess” and two 2013-2014 season subscriptions. If you’re just now hearing about this – catch up by checking out the first clue here and the second clue here; watch for the third clue sometime today here. (And find out more about “Chess” at ArtsWest, running July 17-27, by going here.)
