Auditions for The Legend of Sleepy Hollow will be held on Monday 9/24 and Tuesday 9/25 beginning at 7 pm.

This play is adapted from the classic story by Washingon Irving about the superstitious new schoolmaster, Ichabod Crane and the townspeople of Sleepy Hollow.Early on a September morning the villagers of Sleepy Hollow await their new schoolmaster. When Ichabod finally arrives, his priggish correctness casts a pall over the gossipy, prank-playing townsfolk. Soon enough, though, his genteel manners and his hymn singing impress the ladies, including Katrina Van Tassel, the town belle. The menfolk are less thrilled, especially Brom Bones, Katrina's beau, and he begins plotting to rid himself of his unwelcome rival. Matters come to a head during the Van Tassel's Halloween party, after which the superstitious Ichabod is accosted on his lonely ride home by a fiendish apparition, the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow.

There are 15 speaking roles in the play as well as some non-speaking roles ( the Headless Horseman for one !).There are roles for adult males and females as well as children and teenagers.Auditions are open to the public and will consist of readings from the script.Prepared monologues are encouraged but not required as part of the audition process.Also, those interested in participating in the production to work on technical crews such as lighting, sound and costumes are encouraged to attend auditions in order to volunteer. This show will require numerous special effects from a technical crew. Show dates for Legend of Sleepy Hollow will be October 26, 27 and 28 and again on November 1, 2, 3 and 4.This promises to be a fun show with touches of comedy and suspense accompanied by creepy spookiness.
