Performers Needed for Theatre Audition "Sleepy Hollow"
Looking for men and women for "Sleepy Hollow". Please see the details below. About the project: The eerie village of Sleepy Hollow is steeped in ghost stories—none more chilling than that of the Headless Horseman, said to rise from his grave in search of his missing head. Into this haunted valley comes Ichabod Crane, a nervous and superstitious schoolteacher who sets his sights on the beautiful Katrina Van Tassel. But he’s not the only one—his rival, the bold and cunning Brom Bones, has his own plans. One moonlit night, after a party at Katrina’s estate, Ichabod rides home through the dark woods... and is never seen again. Did he fall victim to the Horseman's wrath—or was something more human behind his disappearance? The mystery still lingers in the shadows of “Sleepy Hollow”. Additional info: Callbacks will be held by invitation only. Rehearsals will typically be Tuesday-Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings. Performances are September 12-20.All roles are performed on a volunteer basis. If interested, please apply.
