Due to popular demand, Historic Hudson Valley and Brian Clowdus are announcing the addition of eight performances to the run of The Sleepy Hollow Experience, extending the production through November 10.
The Sleepy Hollow Experience is an interactive performance at Washington Irving’s Sunnyside, created and produced by Brian Clowdus, founder & Executive/Artistic Director of Serenbe Playhouse, the nation’s premier outdoor site-specific theatre company, which was recently named one of the Top 20 Theaters in the Nation by Playbill.
The production features live, professional musicians and singers, who perform the scenes in various locations around the estate and engage with audience members. Theater-goers will be guided by storytellers from scene to scene, meeting Ichabod Crane and Katrina Van Tassel, imbibing in drinks and snacks during the famous party scene at the Van Tassel’s, and, in a thrilling climax, encountering the Headless Horseman himself.
All 38 performances of The Sleepy Hollow Experience were entirely sold out even before the show debuted at Washington Irving’s Sunnyside on Oct. 4. The new performances will take place on Friday, Nov. 8 at 6pm and 8pm and Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 9 and 10, at 5pm, 7, and 9.
“We are thrilled by our visitors’ excitement and enthusiasm about this one-of-a-kind production at Washington Irving’s Sunnyside,” said Rob Schweitzer, Vice President of Communications & Commerce for Historic Hudson Valley. “It gives us great pleasure to be able to add these additional evenings and give even more visitors the opportunity to see this limited run smash hit.”
“The success of The Sleepy Hollow Experience has exceeded our expectations,” said producer and creator Brian Clowdus. “Washington Irving’s Sunnyside estate is the perfect venue for this show and the reception has been truly incredible. We are over the moon to announce this extension week and expect it to sell out as quickly as the original run.”
