This new musical puts a current spin on the classic Washington Irving story The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. On Halloween night, three modern-day children find themselves traveling back in time to 18th century New Amsterdam, arriving right in the middle of Sleepy Hollow with all its odd characters, traditions, ghosts and goblins. They’ll need all their ingenuity to get back home to the present! The show runs as a one-act, but can easily accommodate an intermission for a two-act presentation.
Modern-Day Children:
AMY – Older – 12 or 13ish – nice and super-smart
CHARLIE – Older – 14 or 15ish – bossy, a know-it-all and pushes around the other two kids
IRVING – Younger – 8 or 9ish – cute kid
Sleepy Hollow Characters:
TRUDY – Woman of the town – mother of ABBEY, BEN, WASHINGTON
ICHABOD CRANE/OLD ICHABOD – Schoolmaster – tall, awkward, in love with KATIE – frightened of his own shadow
KATIE (KATRINA VAN TASSEL) – Pretty, enamored with ICHABOD, intrigued with BROM BONES – but skeptical that either one is really right for her (KATIE Can also double as DUTCH WIFE 2)
BROM BONES – 18th Century Hunk, self-indulgent, in love with KATIE and himself
DUTCH WIFE 1 – Sort of a “do-wopp” backup chorus of women caricatures of the Dutch Wives – funny

DUTCH WIFE 3 – Sort of a “do-wopp” backup chorus of women caricatures of the Dutch Wives – funny
