About The LEGEND:
Set in Sleepy Hollow and ‘Tarry Town’ in the early 1800s, Washington Irving returns to present-day to tell us what he really meant by ‘the legend.’ The story follows school teacher Ichabod Crane (played by Justin Durham – hand balancer and straps artist) who has, of late, been down on his luck but finds adventure when he accepts an invitation to teach the children of Sleepy Hollow.
Everything changes when the beautiful heiress of the Van Tassel fortune, Katrina Van Tassel (played by third-generation circus artist Zoë Heywood), enters the ballroom of her father’s holiday party by performing a seductive aerial ballet on Silks. Crane is stricken by his good fortune and believes he has the savoir faire to win her hand (and her father’s money).
When Katrina’s assumed beau, Brom Bones (Mickey Lonsdale – comedic actor and acrobatic dancer), sees Katrina’s interest in Crane, the game is afoot! Crane finds himself involved in what may become a deadly love triangle, spurred by the practical (and perhaps deadly) jokes of Brom Bones. What neither suitor realizes is that Katrina is in possession of a ‘very particular set of skills’ and can summon ‘the Dark Spirit’ (played by Doug Stewart of CirqUs) with incantations reminiscent of ‘The Exorcist.’ The intrigue mounts: is the ‘Dark Spirit’ the ghostly and ghastly Headless Horseman villagers see at night in pursuit of his prey? Or is it something else that causes Crane to vanish suddenly one night in an epic battle between ‘light’ and ‘dark’?
You will have to see the show to find out what happens to each character.
