The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

Toledo Ballet brings Washington Irving's classic tale to the stage in this family-friendly Halloween production.

With choreography by Eric Otto and an original score by composer Jonathan Heck, this production captures the spooky spirit of the season while telling an engaging story through dance. This Young People's Performance is designed with families in mind and makes an excellent seasonal tradition. Tickets can be purchased through the box office at (419) 246-8000.
