Legend of Sleepy Hollow Family Storytelling Event (in person at HVWC)

Storyteller David Neilsen will perform a 25-minute retelling of Washington Irving’s The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. In costume, Neilsen uses Irving’s original language to set the scene and take the audience on a ride along with Ichabod Crane on that fateful night. This will be a fun, family event, featuring additional Halloween treats and activities for our guests.

David Neilsen is a classically-trained actor and professional storyteller who has performed at a wide range of venues, ranging from the New York Botanical Gardens, Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, and Washington Irving’s Sunnyside to area schools and birthday parties. His captivating storytelling and mesmerizing one-man shows have enthralled audiences of all ages throughout the Tri-State area. He is also the author of two Middle Grade horror/comic/fantasies Dr. Fell and the Playground of Doom and Beyond the Doors, both published by Crown Books for Young Readers.
