The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

Ichabod Crane and Washington Irving

Actor Neill Hartley presents an interactive one-man interpretation of Washington Irving's story about the headless horseman and Ichabod Crane set in the sleepy world of Tarrytown, New York.

Neill Hartley brings an all new adaptation of this horror story written by Washington Irving. The interactive one-man interpretation of the story of the headless horseman draws the audience into the schoolmaster’s world in sleepy Tarry Town. The program, followed by discussion about this 19th century author who also wrote Rip Van Winkle, ends with a dramatic reading of the story’s postscript.

Since 1994 he has been teaching Speech & Voice at the University of the Arts and is a speech and dialect coach for several professional theaters. As an actor he has performed with Arden Theater, InterAct Theatre, and the Philadelphia Shakespeare Festival, among others.
