The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

Enter an abandoned (and possibly haunted) tavern in Sleepy Hollow for an autumn treat that blends supernatural chills, humor, and the power of storytelling. John Minigan’s solo adaptation of Washington Irving’s classic tale follows overconfident schoolmaster Ichabod Crane as he faces the terrifying Headless Horseman. Directed by Steven Carpenter, this production is part of Washington Stage Guild’s 41st season and promises a high spookiness quotient alongside silliness and humor, earning praise as a spellbinding theatrical experience that combines humor, suspense, romance, and the supernatural.
