Alastair Morley Jaques takes to the stage this October with a performance of the classic American tale, Washington Irving’s The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Families, lovers of literature, and anyone who just likes a good, fun scare are invited to share in the telling of the timeless story of Ichabod Crane, the Headless Horseman, and all the other ghosties, ghoulies, sprites, and spirits for an old fashioned harvest time haunting.

Alastair Morley Jaques studied American literature and theater arts at the University of Oregon and the Evergreen State College. An actor and voice artist for over twenty years, he’s appeared on stages in Oregon, Washington, and all along the west coast, most notably as Edgar Allan Poe, in addition to numerous television and radio appearances. He lives in Portland.

Come join us for an old fashioned Harvest Time Haunting!
