| Synopsis: | Young people want to connect with one another in every era, but in the wake of tragedies like 9/11, that impulse is especially strong. Taking place in 1963 and 2001, this powerful drama shows how youth deal with the aftermath of terror: from making chocolate truffles, to painting murals, to exploring other religions. Their solutions may seem naïve, but their hope makes everything possible. | |||||

| Synopsis: | The story is really a question of belief. Does one believe in the tale of a galloping Hessian who rides through the woods ever searching for his lost head? Will the world end when a comet streaks the sky or a meteor falls to Earth? And what is it about the town of Sleepy Hollow that its residents are "given to all sorts of marvelous beliefs, the people are subject to trances and frequently see strange sights and hear music . . . voices in the air." Come visit this adaptation of Washington Irving's novel and meet again with Ichabod Crane, his nemesis Brom Bones and the lovely coquette they both court: Katrina Van Tassel. Let the play take you through twists and turns of ghostly stories, autumn mischief and the infamous ride of the headless horseman. Then decide for yourself - who and what do you believe? | |||||
