Riverside Community Players presents The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving, dramatized by Kathryn Schultz Miller, and directed by John Lynd.

Just in time for Halloween, this classically spooky yet comedic tale is about Ichabod Crane, the spindly new schoolmaster in a quiet village known by the locals as “Sleepy Hollow”. When Ichabod falls for the coquettish Katrina Van Tassel, he unwittingly irritates her other suitor, the rugged and robust Brom Bones. Although Brom and his cohorts are intimidating fellows, it is the legendary Headless Horseman that haunts the church bridge near the schoolhouse who scares Ichabod the most!

Tickets - $8.00
