The Legend of the Sleepy Hollow

The Colonial Theatre on the Air presents this spectacular production meticulously adapted to stay true to the mood and atmosphere of Washington Irving’s famous story. Featuring outstanding performances by the Colonial Radio Players, a rousing and scary music score by Jeffrey Gage, thousands of sound effects, and a terrifying final encounter with the Headless Horseman, this production will surely be a Halloween family favorite.

Schoolmaster Ichabod Crane arrives in Tarrytown, New York, a region of shadows that is better known as Sleepy Hollow. Local superstitions abound with tales of the Woman in White, Major Andre's Ghost, and the most fearsome of all, the Headless Horseman. Ichabod sets out for the Harvest Frolic being held at the Van Tassels, but encounters a huge misshapen figure on a large black horse, gigantic and headless.
