by Mary Jane Hansen
Inspired by the writings of Washington Irving
A headless skeleton is unearthed in Sleepy Hollow, reopening an old mystery and a few unsettled grievances. Trespassing into forbidden territory could reawaken something quite menacing, and perhaps inhuman. Attorney and former Vice President Aaron Burr enlists the help of a burgeoning young man-of-letters, none other than Washington Irving, to bring order to the village and solve the rather curious phenomena.
Set in early 19th century New York, A Legend of Sleepy Hollow celebrates the rich history of the time and region as part of the Hudson-Fulton-Champlain Quadricentennial observance. A world premiere with a new perspective on folklore of the past.
