Producers ask that the audience step into the shadows of Sleepy Hollow, where superstition lingers in the fog and the sound of ghostly hooves echo in the night.
The movement-driven retelling of Washington Irving’s ‘The Legend of Sleepy Hollow’ blends classic storytelling with dark humor, theatrical invention, and an eerie, gothic sensibility.
Performances are Friday, Oct. 17, Saturday, Oct. 18, Sunday, Oct. 19, and Friday, Oct. 24, Saturday, Oct. 25, and Sunday, Oct. 26.
