MEXICO — As part of the Mexico Public Library’s after-school programming for kids, The Frogtown Mountain Puppeteers will be welcomed back for a performance at 3:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 25.
The puppeteers will perform their show, “The Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow.” The professional puppetry troupe is based in Bar Harbor and is comprised of three adult siblings, Erik and Brian Torbeck, and Robin Erlandson.
Founded in 2000, the troupe has performed at fairs, festivals, theatres, parades, schools, libraries and petting zoos. All of their shows have been written by the Frogtown Mountain Puppeteers and are performed by their handmade puppets.
“The Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow” is a comedic version of the classic Washington Irving tale, “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.” This telling involves a bumbling Headless Horseman, his wisecracking horse, the meathead Brom Bones, the lovely Katrina Van Tassel, her rich father and the mild-mannered and lovable protagonist, Ichabod Crane.
The show will be held at the Calvin Lyons Hall, next door to the library. A donation box will be available to help defray the cost of the show.
