"The Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow" by Frogtown Mountain Puppeteers

In this comedic version of the classic Washington Irving tale, schoolteacher Ichabod Crane helps the Headless Horseman find a new head and a spookier image!  Meanwhile, a jealous Brom Bones tries to run Ichabod out of town as they both vie for the affection of Katrina Van Tassel.  In the end the Horseman saves the day, and everyone lives “happily ever after!”

All ages welcome, recommended for 4+
Mixed puppetry styles: rod, mouth and rod (“Muppet style”), and shadow
