David Kwong's The Enigmatist Returns to The High Line Hotel After Sold-out Performances Last Winter

NEW YORK, Oct. 16, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The plot thickens! David Kwong's The Enigmatist returns to The High Line Hotel starting November 1 after overwhelming demand and two sold-out runs last winter. Performances will continue through January 2020.

The Enigmatist invites guests through the arched Collegiate Gothic doors of The High Line Hotel's 19th century Hoffman Hall into the shadowy world of the Riverbank estate -- the cradle of cryptography. Armed only with a pencil (and a cocktail, of course) you must decipher four puzzles before being granted access to Riverbank's library, where the real show begins.

A word of advice: Pay close attention to your surroundings -- they may feature hidden messages that unlock the secrets of the cryptic estate, where nothing is quite as it seems. Keep an open mind and a sense of curiosity as you're transported to a world of mystery and magic. Is it possible that The Enigmatist knows what you'll think... before you do?

The Enigmatist will be performed at 7 PM and 9:30 PM on select Fridays and Saturdays from November through January. Tickets (ranging from $59 to $150) are on sale now -- but will soon disappear.

Presented by producers Greg Berlanti and Robbie Rogers, David Kwong's The Enigmatist at The High Line Hotel is led by Dylan Pager and Andy Jones as Creative Producers and managed by the team at Baseline Theatrical, whose projects include Broadway's Hamilton, The Cher Show and The Great Comet of 1812.

Josh Higgason serves as the Lighting and Projection Designer, with Joshua Yocom as Properties Designer, Mary Hamrick Williamson as Associate Scenic Designer, Francis Menotti as Magic Consultant, Dave Shukan as Puzzle Consultant, Joan Sergay as Consulting Director, Sean Gorski as Production Manager, and Nevin Law Group as Production Counsel.
