The play is not like the movie version of the classic story that starred actor Johnny Depp. “This version is oriented for children,” said Eddy Sakowicz, artistic director and director of the play. “There’s a little bit of scariness and a lot of comedy.” “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” is the story of school master Ichabod Craine who comes to Tarrytown, N.Y. and catches the eye of Katrina Van Tassel, only Brom Van Brunt has already spoken for her. “There’s a little bit of a love squabble and it ends up with (Ichabod Craine) being told of the nightly terrors of Tarrytown. After the All Hallow’s Eve Frolic at the Van Tassel place, Ichabod Craine unfortunately meets up with one of the ghosts of Tarrytown,” Sakowicz said. Sakowicz has a master’s degree in historical interpretation and to help the young actors with character building and understanding the time period he introduced some extra historical material. “We gave out some information on federalists and anti-federalists and a little background on the Revolutionary War and George Washington’s farewell address,” he said. Starring in the play as Ichabod Craine is 13-year-old Carlos Torres, a Glasgow Middle School student. Torres auditioned for the play because he enjoys acting. “I had a lot of fun in my last play here so I wanted to do it again,” he said. He describes Ichabod Craine as being a bit of a Casanova who tries to get the attention of all the ladies in town. “It’s been fun,” he said. Torres’ character catches the attention of Katrina Van Tassel played by 12-year-old Andie Marcol, a Barren County Middle School student. Marcol is also a veteran actor with the group and wanted to be involved with another play. She describes her character as being “very sarcastic and enjoys playing people against each other.” Marcol says her character’s personality is similar to her own.
