WELCOME TO THE HVWC CALENDAR: home of all our upcoming readings, events and workshops. You can view by list or calendar (see right menu to choose). Click the colored tabs below to show only specific options. Our workshops run as multi-session series or one-day “intensives.” Note, we list the multi-session courses on the first day they meet only. The full dates of the session are described in the course descriptions. You would need to scroll back to the start date if you needed to enroll for something already underway. But do let us know if you want to join something in midstream since we need the blessing of the instructor. Questions? Email us.

Legend of Sleepy Hollow Family Storytelling Event (in person at HVWC)
October 20 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
$20.00
Storyteller David Neilsen will perform a 25-minute retelling of Washington Irving’s The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. In costume, Neilsen uses Irving’s original language to set the scene and take the audience on a ride along with Ichabod Crane on that fateful night. This will be a fun, family event, featuring additional Halloween treats and activities for our guests.
David Neilsen is a classically-trained actor and professional storyteller who has performed at a wide range of venues, ranging from the New York Botanical Gardens, Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, and Washington Irving’s Sunnyside to area schools and birthday parties. His captivating storytelling and mesmerizing one-man shows have enthralled audiences of all ages throughout the Tri-State area. He is also the author of two Middle Grade horror/comic/fantasies Dr. Fell and the Playground of Doom and Beyond the Doors, both published by Crown Books for Young Readers.

Participants may take photos but not video, please!
This is a family friendly event, though it does contain some slightly spooky content, so we’d suggest children in audience be 8+.
