Briefly

Oceanica Ballet's Spooky "The Headless Horseman + Viva La Vida" (Oct. 25-26)
"Act One adapts Washington Irving's "Legend of Sleepy Hollow," exploring Ichabod as an outsider haunted by cruel townsfolk and the legendary Headless Horseman alike as he seeks a sense of belonging. Act Two features the original story of Lucio and Lupita in a multicultural tale about transcending loss and the resilience of love, celebrated through a joyful folklórico-infused ode to life inspired by Día de los Muertos. Throughout both stories, the wisdom of women across time and cultures is amplified."
"Called "delightful from start to finish" by Jen Norris Dance Reviews, this production is bewitching entertainment for the fall season. "Through clever theatricality... Oceánica Ballet's cast of dancers brings this story to life with a joie de vivre that has me looking forward to future showings of this work... creating a tradition for family audiences." The Headless Horseman + Viva La Vida Saturday, October 25, 2025 | 4p & Sunday, October 26, 2025 | 2pm"
