In this comedic version of the classic Washington Irving tale, schoolteacher Ichabod Crane helps the Headless Horseman find a new head & a spookier image. Meanwhile, a jealous Brom Bones tries to run Ichabod out of town as they both vie for the affection of Katrina Van Tassel. In the end the Horseman saves the day & everyone lives “happily ever after!”

“The Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow” features twenty of Frogtown Mountain Puppeteers’ hand-crafted mouth and rod puppets and shadow puppetry, too!
