Show Information

This thrilling new stage story, inspired by Washington Irving’s classic, uncovers a darker secret behind the legend of Sleepy Hollow. When schoolmaster Ichabod Crane arrives in the quiet valley, he finds a community shaken by a string of unexplained disappearances. Katrina Van Tassel and her friends are swept into the growing turmoil, while Brom Bones begins to suspect there is more to the mystery than meets the eye. At the center rides the terrifying Horseman — but is he a free agent of terror, or controlled by something even more sinister? As fear spreads and shadows close in, Sleepy Hollow becomes a place where truth, legend, and terror collide.
