For the third year in a row, Lovely Calamity Productions is returning to the hallowed grounds of Sleepy Hollow Cemetery to bring Edgar Lee Masters’ poetic masterpiece to life with their immersive production The Hill: Stories from Spoon River.
Follow the wandering minstrel known as Fiddler Jones for a lantern-lit journey among the headstones where the echoes of the past still reverberate. Hear from the town’s elite, still harboring their grudges. Meet the dreamers who never made it out. Learn the quiet, heartbreaking, and sometimes hilarious truths that only the dead are brave enough to tell. It’s part walking tour, part poetic séance, and total immersion into a world where every spirit has a tale to tell.
