Synopsis:

In the quaint village of Sleepy Hollow, stories of wonder and strangeness surround the legend of a mighty headless Hessian. When the humble schoolteacher Ichabod Crane vies for the hand of the beautiful Katrina Van Tassel, the townsfolk might protest, but it is ultimately the Horseman who will decide Ichabod’s fate.

This dynamic ensemble-based retelling of the famous Washington Irving short story is a spooktacular, crowd-pleasing theatrical event.

Characters

Auditioning actors should also be comfortable with simple singing and basic dance movement; expert skills are not expected.

Some ensemble parts will require simple puppeteering.  No experience necessary- enthusiasm required 🙂

 
Ages are an approximation and do not need to reflect an actor’s actual age.  Roles are open to actors of all ethnicities and genders.

A Note On Accents:

All Characters require a General American accent, Pennsylvania Dutch would be an advantage – but not essential.  

All actors auditioning should demonstrate their level of skill for the accent in their audition
