On the Cripe Stage…

A Halloween Experience Unlike Any Other
Composed of fully-produced adaptations of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Las Lloronas, a Halloween-themed arts and artisan fair, and an interactive Wicked Lit museum and photo suite, Wicked Lit 2026 will be the can’t miss event of the autumnal season!The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
Adapted from the short story by Washington Irving, by Jonathan Josephson
The Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow has been the scourge of campfires and story circles since the end of the Revolutionary War. Is anyone brave enough, or foolish enough, to cross paths with the goblin rider? Experience the adventure of congenial school teacher Ichabod Crane, and see for yourself!Las Lloronas
Freely adapted from the universe of “La Llorona” myths and historical events, by Jonathan Josephson
Told through storytelling, music, and dance, this centuries-spanning adaptation of the famous Mexican folk legend about a desperate mother who kills her children by drowning them in a river. This play presents five stories of La Llorona in our world and worlds beyond — from the huge and fantastical to the intimate and harrowing.

Be advised: Las Lloronas is rooted in gothic horror and is intended for mature audiences only. The play contains descriptions of violence in multiple forms which is represented theatrically on stage.
