Jonathan Kruk’s “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” - White Plains Public Library
*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 10/15/2022
Washington Irving's classic as a dramatic solo show with live music!
A ghost of a Hessian soldier, decapitated at White Plains during the American Revolution, gallops after a Connecticut Yankee schoolmaster. Written in 1819 by Washington Irving this gothic romance went “viral,” bringing the author wealth and fame. “The Legend’s” iconic Headless Horseman continues to haunt us today. Master Storyteller Jonathan Kruk’s solo show offers a dramatic retelling of this American classic. True to the author's original story, the performance is filled with spirited action, jump-starts, and wit.

Long noted for his educational theater programs given to school children, Mr. Kruk began performing Irving’s classic for Historic Hudson Valley in 1996. Currently, his October run of fifty shows at Sleepy Hollow's Old Dutch Church, sell out before opening night. Audiences appreciate Kruk's animated embodying of Irving's iconic characters. He pipes and preens as Ichabod Crane, delivers a rollicking Brom Bones, and a coquettish Katrina Van Tassel. From the Dutch New-Yorkers of Sleepy Hollow, to the tremulous Farmer Brouwer, to the braggadocious Doffue Martling, all leap with life from the storyteller’s varied voices and gestures.
