Legend tells us that the Headless Horseman roams the village of Sleepy Hollow under the full moon, forever looking for a head to replace the one he lost . . . . but is it true? Washington Irving’s classic ghost story -- retold by award-winning playwright Kathryn Schultz Miller -- will capture your imagination as mischievous Brom Bones and awkward schoolmaster Ichabod Crane duel for the affection of the beautiful Katrina. It is presented with all the thrills, chills and laughs that keep young audiences on the edge of their seats. This beloved American tale leads audiences on a spooky jaunt through the woods . . . and a spine-tingling encounter with the infamous Horseman himself!
The cast features Widener University students Luis Aguilar, Autumn Heisler, Patrick LaMarra, Carolyn Lodge, Anna McCormick, Kirk Reichart, and Kim Vogel, as well as Wilmington resident Ruby Knipe. It is directed by Lisa Eckley Cocchiarale, with technical direction by Daniel Castagna.
