Ichabod Crane, Katrina Van Tassel, Brom Bones and Sleepy Hollow are names that conjure up vivid memories of haunted country sides of long ago as told by Washington Irving, one of America’s first authors of notoriety and acclaim. It’s a harvest party at the Van Tassels’ homestead where Ichabod dances, feasts and listens to ghost stories. His real goal is to ask for the hand of Katrina. His well-laid plans never materialize. But something else does. Something pop. And something dark, dangerous, foreboding and, yes, creepy because it’s headless!

The Lantern Theatre presents a harvest party that is becoming another family tradition in The Big, Red Barn. Come for cider, cocoa, baked goods, songs, poems and A Cold, Creepy Reading of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Washington Irving’s inspired and scary sketch of early American history. 

A Cold, Creepy Reading of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is for the whole family and presented October 28 & 29, Friday & Saturday at 7 p.m. Admission is $12. Children 12 and under: $8.  For information call (216) 401-5131.
