Frogtown Mountain Puppeteers Presents Headless Horseman of Sleepy Silly Hollow
at Center for Puppetry Arts
A Comedic Version Rises from this Classic Halloween Tale
WHAT: Headless Horseman of Sleepy Silly Hollow by Frogtown Mountain Puppeteers
In this comedic version of the classic Washington Irving tale, schoolteacher Ichabod Crane helps the Headless Horseman find a new head and a spookier image. Meanwhile, a jealous Brom Bones tries to run Ichabod out of town as they both vie for the affection of Katrina Van Tassel. In the end the Horseman saves the day and everyone is “happy ever after!” This family-friendly Halloween show is the perfect silly show for children of all ages.
Frogtown Mountain Puppeteers is a small puppetry troupe based in Bar Harbor, Maine, and is comprised of three siblings. Between the wisecracking horse and meat-head Brom Bones, the troupe will have the entire family laughing their heads off.
