For years, we've wanted to see The Sleepy Hollow Experience at Serenbe Playhouse, but haven't been…read moreable to make it out for one reason or another. One reason is because this show has been sold out for six seasons straight. You have to plan ahead. After finally attending The Sleepy Hollow Experience this past weekend, I can see why it consistently sells out. It's good! We bought our tickets a little over two months in advance. My friend purchased the tickets for us and got us a great deal that worked out to $31 per person after any taxes and fees. Tickets are regularly $50 per adult, $45 per student/senior, and $60 per VIP (not sure what that includes). In 2019, The Sleepy Hollow Experience is playing September 27th through November 3rd. Shows occur Wednesday through Sunday nights. There's a family-friendly daytime version that takes place at 2pm on Saturdays and Sundays. The show is rated "PG" and includes "light sexual innuendo and a handful of scares." The scares are jump scares. Serenbe Playhouse is an outdoor, immersive theater. You walk around a big set, in nature, with the actors and even have opportunities to interact with them. The concept is neat and a lot of fun. It's different and can be a lot more interesting than your typical theater experience where you just sit and watch a performance play out on stage. At The Sleepy Hollow Experience, we watched most of the acts while standing. One act did have chairs and benches for sitting. Shows go on in the rain, so come prepared. Pay attention to the weather forecast and wear comfortable clothes and shoes. Bring layers if needed. You'll be outside the entire time, standing on dirt, clay, grass, gravel, dead leaves, branches, etc. If conditions are wet, it can get muddy. For night shows, consider bringing a flashlight or using the light on your phone to help you get around. Restrooms consist of a row of porta-potties. Parking (free) changes for each production so be sure to follow the instructions on Serenbe Playhouse's website, specific to the show you're attending. http://www.serenbeplayhouse.com/plan-your-visit/directions-and-parking At The Sleepy Hollow Experience, there were two bars located on-site: (1) a smaller bar near the parking lot and porta-potties and (2) a larger bar near the production with lawn games like corn hole and ring toss. Like the rest of Serenbe Playhouse's structures, the bars have a natural, rustic look to them (sort of one with nature) and are nicely-decorated with string lighting. The larger bar has limited seating (e.g. picnic table). We purchased glasses of hot apple cider in Serenbe Playhouse clear souvenir tumblers ($10 each). We went to the Friday night late show at 10:30pm. It ended promptly, close to midnight, and included an intermission. During intermission, we could take pictures with the cast and even play corn hole with one of them. That was cool. In light traffic, it takes about 35-40 minutes to get to Serenbe Playhouse from Atlanta. I would allow 45 minutes to an hour if you are coming from the north side of Atlanta and even more if you're coming from the northern suburbs. You will have to drive onto bare, bumpy ground to park, so keep that in mind. Also, you will be out in a remote location so cell service may be spotty (in our experience, AT&T had better signal here than T-Mobile). As for the actual Sleepy Hollow Experience production itself, it was terrific. We all really enjoyed it. It was a high-quality production and by that I'm referring to the acting, costumes, music, sound, and lighting. These are true professionals and they know what they're doing. The actors not only acted well, but they played musical instruments (e.g. accordion, guitar, violin) and sang well too. This was a truly talented and entertaining group of individuals. The Sleepy Hollow Experience was expectedly eerie, but it had plenty of moments of levity and humor too. It was a lot of fun. We moved from place to place on the set with Serenbe Playhouse staff/volunteers to help guide, and sometimes scare, us. The ratio of actors to audience was 5 to about 90. The Headless Horseman exists and we saw him, multiple times, from far away and up close. It was awesome. Yes, they use a real horse and real fire. As this is an outdoor night show during the Halloween season, the entire setting is literally very dark. Only the stages and set pieces are professionally lit. The pathways and rest of the outdoor space are lit with torches and ambient/natural light. Through this production, my eyes have been opened to the greatness of Serenbe Playhouse. I wouldn't mind returning to see a different show in the future. TL;DR - Go see The Sleepy Hollow Experience at Serenbe Playhouse. It's an excellent production and a very fun experience. There's a reason why it's on American Theatre Magazine's list of "Top Five Halloween Plays in the Country" and is regularly sold out, year after year. No question, it's worth the drive from Atlanta.

We came for the Sleepy Hollow Experience with some friends and also (on a separate occasion in the…read moresame season) brought our toddler to see the Jungle Book. Both productions were phenomenal. The afternoon weekend performance of the Jungle Book we caught with the toddler was on an unfortunately hot day. The playhouse is outdoors, with outdoor, non-covered (read no shade) seating. We ended up sitting on a jacket we found in the back of the car on the floor in the sort of shade of a tree to get out of the sun. Even with the heat, the performance was great! The actors didn't let the heat bother them, and were at 100%. Our kiddo LOVED it and spent the rest of the day singing the songs. Be aware, you are pretty much parking on a dirt road next to some trees and there is some walking (non-paved trails) to get to the 'playhouse' itself. There is a small kiosk selling snacks, beer, and drinks. The evening performance of the Sleepy Hollow Experience was awesome. There is quite a bit of walking and the entire performance is outdoors, so dress appropriately. We were VERY lucky the evening of our performance was a perfect crisp bright fall night, with absolutely no rain. If there is rain before your show, the roads and floor would likely be pretty muddy. I was very very impressed with the acting and the LIVE horse (so well behaved!!). Again keep in mind you will be driving and walking on dirt/non-paved roads so prepare accordingly. Serenbe is a bit of a drive from Atlanta, but totally worth the experience. Also consider spending the weekend at the farmhouse, or getting an AirBnB etc in the area. The farm itself is adorable with LOTS to do.

My family was involved with Southern Arc Dance for two years. The teachers are kind, skilled, and…read morededicated, and there is a genuine effort to support students, including disabled dancers in programs like "Dance Without Limits." My daughter participated in Dance Without Limits, beginning teen ballet, and hip hop classes. While we did not pay for Dance Without Limits, we paid full price for the beginning teen ballet and hip hop classes. I also participated in fundraising videos for grants and volunteered backstage for every production my daughter participated in. Before September 2025, I would have given Southern Arc Dance a glowing 5-star review. My daughter adored the teachers and the studio, but over time, the organization, communication, and planning declined. Events were often scheduled last minute, rehearsals were confusing, and auditions were handled in ways that were deeply hurtful to students and families. My daughter and the other Dance Without Limits students were told to attend Nutcracker auditions this year like everyone else but were barred from actually trying out. They were instructed to sit along the wall and watch their peers. After an hour of waiting, they were sent home. When my daughter asked why, the director said her stretching had served as her audition and that it was "to show buy-in." She was then cast as a soldier again with "her friends," the other Dance Without Limits students. This would have been her third consecutive year in that role. My daughter and the other Dance Without Limits students pay the same participation and costume fees as typical dancers for the Nutcracker performance, and I have evidence of this on my account and in my bank statements. She was not asking for special treatment. She simply wanted the chance to try, work hard, and grow. She loved to dance and wanted other opportunities, yet she was denied them. This sent the message that typical dancers were not her friends and that she was only seen in one way. We attempted to resolve this issue with the owners through multiple emails and a phone call, but communication was very poor and our concerns were left unresolved. This was especially painful given my daughter's dedication. She attended every class and rehearsal and I volunteered backstage while her brother was critically ill at home. Her brother passed away in June, and she had been looking forward to the Nutcracker as a joyful distraction. Instead, she felt tokenized and excluded. Favoritism, accessibility issues, and costume planning that overlooks the needs of disabled dancers compound the inequity. I am writing this review so other families can make a fully informed decision. If you are okay with your disabled child being limited to the Dance Without Limits class, repeatedly cast only as a soldier, and never given a chance to grow or earn new opportunities, this studio may work for you. Otherwise, be aware of organizational, communication, and equity issues. I give Southern Arc Dance three stars because there were positive moments and talented teachers, but I hope the owners read this, understand the impact of their decisions on my daughter and our family, and take accountability so no one else experiences what we went through.
