In the depths of the Hudson Valley lies a village shrouded in darkness and steeped in legend. Sleepy Hollow, a place where reality intertwines with the supernatural, has a chilling story to unfold. This halloween season, Nyack high school will explore this tale with their production of “The Legend of the Sleepy Hollow” starring Asher Glass as Ichabod Crane, Haylie Christiano as Katrina Van Tassel, Sawyer Ploski as “Brom Bones” Van Brunt, Augie Davi-Fiendella as Baltus Van Tassel, Emma Van Dorpe as Hans Van Ripper, Brandon Rentezelas as Parson Van Houten, and many more talented actors.
Ichabod Crane, a superstitious schoolteacher, has just moved to the town known as Sleepy Hollow. At first sight, Ichabod becomes infatuated with a young Katrina Van Tassel, the beautiful daughter of a wealthy farmer. As Ichabod competes with Brom Bones, a local pursuer of Katrina’s affection, he encounters tales of the legendary Headless Horseman, a ghostly figure said to haunt the town. Will he make it home safe? Combining elements of romance, humor, mystery, and horror, the audience is sure to be left bewildered.
Exciting news! Not only is the Nyack Drama Club thrilled about our upcoming show, we also have a brand new production team leading the way. This year we welcome our talented director, Ben Tostado, and our two dedicated club advisers, Felicia Gell and Sarah Boyle.

With our show falling so close to Halloween and fitting the theme, the cast will be taking to the streets of Nyack, participating in the famous Nyack Halloween parade. It’s going to be a spooktacular experience that you won’t want to miss!
