About the Show

Early on a September morning the villagers of Sleepy Hollow await their new schoolmaster. When Ichabod finally arrives, his priggish correctness casts a pall over the gossipy, prank-playing townsfolk. Soon enough, though, his genteel manners and his hymn singing impress the ladies, including Katrina Van Tassel, the town belle. The menfolk are less thrilled, especially Brom Bones, Katrina's beau. He begins plotting to rid himself of his unwelcome rival.

Matters come to a head during the Van Tassel's Halloween party, after which the superstitious Ichabod is accosted on his lonely ride home by a fiendish apparition, the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow. The next morning, Ichabod has disappeared, leaving behind only a song in the wind, and the birth of a new legend.

Based on the book by Washington Irving | Adapted for the stage by Mary and Andrew Arnault | Produced by special arrangement with THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY of Woodstock, illinois.
