The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

adapted by Lindsay Price from Washington Irving

Icabod Crane is new to Sleepy Hollow and seems to fit right in. He's taking over the choir, courting the wealthy daughter, and sharing a ghost story or two. But not everyone is happy to see Icabod and not everyone thinks he loves ghost stories as much as he says. What happens when Icabod gets a ghoulish surprise?

This new adaptation of the Washington Irving story is excellent for large groups and suitably spooky for Halloween!

My students had a fabulous time with this play, and even earned the highest rating at our state theatre competition. The choral commentary on the action of the play makes this adaptation a compelling ensemble piece.
