ABOUT THE SLEEPY HOLLOW EXPERIENCE As autumn cools the steaming earth and leaves begin to turn, we’re bringing back our favorite fall fright fest: The Sleepy Hollow Experience. Following four sold out seasons and recognition as one of the ‘Top Five Halloween Plays in the Country’ by American Theatre Magazine, patrons will enjoy a fresh adaptation by Serenbe Playhouse’s Brian Clowdus. This immersive Halloween experience is sure to have heads rolling. “It is hard to believe that we are entering our fifth year of The Sleepy Hollow Experience,” says Oliveti. “It feels like just yesterday that Brian Clowdus was on my phone asking me to Assistant Direct the very first production of this show. I never would have guessed that 5 years later I’d be standing in a field ready to remount this tale. I could not be more excited for its return and its lasting legacy as an Atlanta Halloween tradition.” BRAND NEW THIS YEAR, The Sleepy Hollow Experience is going family friendly each Sunday in October at 2pm!
