​Detective Bert September sat in his office stammering over the puzzle in front of him. The train robbery left more questions than it did answers. It was his job to make sense of all of the nonsense! The robbery which took less than 5 minutes to complete resulted in the theft of the "Devious Diamond", a prize worth 5 million dollars! The robbers took the time to leave a note, it was to be a game of cat and mouse. The note contained only one sentence, "Solve the puzzle by 5PM and the Devious Diamond will be returned" signed Yours Truly. It was now 4PM only one hour left....can he crack the case and get the diamond back? Can you?

The Devious Diamond
Place the letters of the fourteen-letter word ACCOMPLISHMENT in each of the spaces below to spell 2 three-letter words, 2 five-letter words and 1 seven-letter word. Each letter of ACCOMPLISHMENT will only be used once

And the answer is.......
​Him, Cream, Typical, Onion, Sea

Join us weekly for Puzzling Good Time!
Each week, solve a new crime by solving a puzzle! Check for the correct answer on our website News page on Fridays...are you ready to play? Let's get your detective Noodle working!
Detective Bert September was hot on the heels of several suspects in the Dovetown Diamond Heist when out of the blue he was hit by a cyclist racing through the cross walk. All of his notes scattered in the wind up and down second street, into the bushes and onto passing cars. The only pieces of evidence he was able to recover was a note found on the floor of the safe at the jewelry store. It was a jumble of letters and numbers. After carefully reviewing the only piece of evidence left, Detective September proudly announced he had solved the case! That bike blunder may have been exactly what he needed!
Can you solve the case? Was it The Jewelry Store Manager or The Big Spender or The Security Guard
See the Puzzle below (check out our News page on our website this Friday for the correct answer)

And the Correct Answer is: The Jewelry Store Manager!

Theater is an amazing teacher, even when you least expect it. I started in theater when I was three years old and grew up performing. It was a passion and a love for becoming a character and entertaining others that kept me coming back. I had no idea what impact my experience would have on shaping me as an individual and professional. As I began my career educating others and leading organizations through change, I connected the dots.... The theater dots that is! Now I am excited to share these amazing lessons with you! 
Our first lesson is - Theater Teaches... Sharing the Spotlight
Even a one woman show has a crew behind her to help make the show into a functional production. Without the team the show would be one person alone on a dark stage without an audience. Theater teaches us how to not just accept others  into our space, but how to depend on others and how to support others in order to reach a goal!
​
​Accepting others in our space
It can be hard to share the stage or your space with others. A production requires a group of actors to come together and tell a story. Some actors have many lines others may have just one, but each and every line is important and takes the spotlight at the right time. As an actor you learn when to step into the spotlight and when to take a step back and let others shine.

Depending on Others
They always say the secret to acting is "reacting" to others on stage. It is so very true! Have you ever tried to play more than one role? I know some of you have.....Its hard and it is almost impossible to do on stage. All actors and production members learn to lean on others for support. The theater helps you drop your guard and accept the help of others. On stage, your fellow actors are part of the story and they are there to help you and the story shine. Sometimes they are there to help you when h you forget a line or when the audience doesn't "get the joke". It becomes a comfort to know the people you are performing with, have your back. Off stage production members work to make the "illusion" of the story come to life and enhance the work of the actors. Together it becomes a escape into a story and another world. 

Helping Others
The door swings both ways and in theater we learn to give back. Perhaps it is through the appreciation of what others have done for you, or through the love of seeing others succeed, but we all learn to give as much as we get. Successful theater leaves all the Drama on Stage and highlights the best of teamwork. Just like any other team, we all succeed and fail together. One "star" can ruin an entire show. Every actor and production member has designated responsibilities, if one is left undone, a prop wall can fall on another actor and that has the capability of releasing a chain of events that will derail and entire production. Helping others is running over and holding up that wall, so another actor can perform and finish their scene! (don's laugh... I was onstage many years ago and had a wall fall on me)
