An audience favorite, the sibling trio known as the Frogtown Mountain Puppeteers will bring their unique brand of humor to the Center for Puppetry Arts with The Headless Horseman of Silly Hollow, October 25 - November 6.
In this comedic adaptation, schoolteacher Ichabod Crane helps the hapless Headless Horseman find a new head and a spookier image. With clever music and quirky characters, adults are sure to enjoy this "spooktacular" performance just as much as their children.
The show incorporates shadow puppetry alongside more than 20 handmade hand and rod puppets. Runtime is 50 minutes, and it's recommended for ages 4 and up.
