Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity is proud to present the premiere of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, developed in association with Alberta Theatre Projects and featuring The Old Trout Puppet Workshop.
Ten years after the American Revolutionary War, the country is still haunted by the violence that created it. A country school master, Ichabod Crane, finds himself dispatched to a remote village North of the Hudson River: Sleepy Hollow. Here, he tries to bring the inhabitants of this deeply superstitious hamlet into the 18th century. But secrets run deep, and not all is as it appears in this place still haunted by its past.
Brought to wildly imaginative life by the twisted genius of The Old Trout Puppet Workshop, this world premiere adaptation of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow breathes exciting new life into the enduring and haunting tale of the Headless Horseman.
Experience this thrilling tale first, before it heads to its full theatrical run at Alberta Theatre Projects in Calgary. Just in time for Halloween, travel to Sleepy Hollow at Banff Centre!
The New Play Productions are generously funded by The Slaight Family Foundation.
