SLEEPY HOLLOW, NY — Two interactive performances featuring fire jugglers and pirates will kick off the summer season in Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow.

Fire JugglersA band of fire jugglers lights up Philipsburg Manor in Sleepy Hollow during A Night on Fire, Friday through Sunday, June 26 to 28. A Night on Fire features stunts and family friendly humor and is ideal for all ages.

This one-hour performance is a fully choreographed, live display of fire arts featuring four flame-wielding, fire-eating performers twisting and turning, juggling and dancing, spinning and sword fighting. Performed by the juggling and comedy troupe A Different Spin, part of the Boston Circus Guild, A Night on Fire takes place at 8:30 p.m. on Friday, 8 and 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, and 8 p.m. on Sunday.

Tickets for A Night on Fire are $22 for adults and $16 for children 17 and under. Members of Historic Hudson Valley receive a $5 per ticket discount. Tickets are available in advance online at www.hudsonvalley.org.

PiratesOn Saturday, July 11 Pirates of the Hudson returns to the Tarrytown Music Hall, featuring a rollicking show fresh from Off-Broadway. The Greatest Pirate Story Never Told, a swashbuckling pirate musical in which the audience helps write and perform the tale, begins with a crew of misfit pirates flung into the future by a bumbling sea witch, with only one chance of returning home: performing the greatest pirate epic ever seen on stage.

But when their script is torn asunder, these pirates-turned-actors are forced to improvise based on audience suggestions. Performances are at 1, 3 and 7 p.m.

Pirates of the Hudson tickets are $24 for adults and $18 for children 17 and under. Members of Historic Hudson Valley receive a $5 per ticket discount. Tickets are available in advance at www.hudsonvalley.org.

Philipsburg Manor is at 381 North Broadway (Route 9) in Sleepy Hollow, N.Y. Tarrytown Music Hall is at 13 Main Street in Tarrytown, N.Y. For information: 914-366-6900, www.hudsonvalley.org.
