Halloween weekend kicks off with a hilarious, family-friendly version of Washington Irving’s classic short story in Madcap Puppets’ Legend of Sleepy Hollow. The performance takes place at the Fairfield Community Arts Center (FCAC) Friday, October 29 at 7 p.m. and kids that come dressed in costume will receive a special Halloween treat!

Tickets are $17 for adults and $12 for children 12 and under. Prices include all applicable fees. Call the FCAC Box Office at 513-867-5348 or purchase online at //www.fairfieldoh.gov/tickets. Part of the EnterAct Family Series, this show is appropriate for all ages and is sponsored by Journal News, Courtyard Marriott, and funded in part by a grant from the Ohio Arts Council.

In this tale, written by Dylan Shelton, the lanky schoolmaster, Ichabod Crane, can’t decide what’s worse in the glen of Sleepy Hollow; the headless horseman or the silliest of ghosts, the horseless headman. To complicate matters, Ichabod unwittingly vies with the local brute, Brom Bones, for the affections of Katrina Van Tassal. Ichabod endures a series of hilarious pranks and ghost stories, only to find himself on the ride of his life.

Based in Cincinnati, Madcap Puppets is nationally recognized for engaging and original children’s theatre productions, as well as in-school educational programs that include performances, workshops, and residencies.
