The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, adapted by Tracy Wells from Washington Irving’s classic tale, brings the eerie charm of colonial America to life in a spooky and delightfully witty stage production. When quirky schoolmaster Ichabod Crane arrives in the mysterious village of Sleepy Hollow, he hopes to find purpose, community, and maybe even love. But whispers of a fearsome ghost—the Headless Horseman—haunt the woods, and Ichabod quickly finds himself entangled in the disappearances of neighbors, supernatural intrigue, and a romantic rivalry over the beautiful and intelligent Katrina Van Tassel. Filled with lively townsfolk, laugh-out-loud moments, and a chilling climax, this adaptable play offers multiple endings to suit audiences of all ages. Read More
