This Halloween season, a decidedly un-spooky re-telling of the classic “Legend of Sleepy Hollow” will cause mayhem on stage at the Center for Puppetry Arts.

The Headless Horseman of Silly Hollow” comes to us from Frogtown Mountain Puppeteers, the sibling-run puppetry troupe out of Bar Harbor, Maine, using 20 different handmade puppets, including shadow puppets.

The show runs from Oct. 17 – 27, and kids aged four and up can also participate in a “create a puppet” workshop with each ticket purchased.
