National Touring Production of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow to Perform Locally

Bright Star Touring Theatre, a national professional touring theatre company based in Asheville, NC, is visiting the area with their performance of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow- In this fun-filled retelling of Washington Irving’s classic tale, the bumbling schoolmaster Ichabod Crane is in love with Katrina Van Tassel, the loveliest girl in town. Katrina, however, happens to be in love with the town prankster, Brom Bones. Crane refuses to give up, but his pursuit of Katrina finds him face to face with the legendary headless horseman on a stormy night—or is this just another prank by Brom Bones? Your audience will especially love watching several volunteers become members of the Sleepy Hollow town choir.

Enjoyed by audiences across the United States, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is best appreciated by audiences in grades 2-6.

Each year, Bright Star Touring Theatre serves nearly 2,000 audiences in schools, theaters, libraries, museums and more across the country.
