Shadow Puppetry for Little Ones!

Young Washington Irving in Sleepy Hollow!

Before Washington Irving was an internationally renowned author, he came to Sleepy Hollow as a young man and absorbed the spine-tingling tales he would fondly recall all his life.  Bring YOUR family for an afternoon they won't soon forget!

Artist and puppeteer extraordinaire Melissa Chernowetz uses her hand-crafted shadow puppets to weave an original tale based on Irving's real life events as he makes mischief and escapes the specter of his most famous tale - the Headless Horseman!

Suitable for ages 5 and up.  Be sure to stay after the show for a behind-the-scenes look at how Melissa works her magic!

Dates & Times:  October Saturdays from 2:00-3:00 p.m. and again from 4:00-5:00 p.m., plus Halloween from 4:00-5:00 p.m.
