The first production that Lowry Drama and Stagecraft will be presenting is “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow”. The premiere of the play will be on October 26, 2010 and will encore on October 27, 2010. Since the beginning of the school year, the students have been working on the play, anticipating those dates.
The entire Drama class is excited for the play, having worked extremely hard to bring this production to life. On the second day of school, parts were assigned and the students began memorizing their lines. Chase Estes will be filling the lead role of Ichabod Crane, with Lainey Barta filling in the role of Katrina Van Tassel.
Jaren Cornwall will be Brom Bones, with Jared Parks as his sidekick, Yost Van Ripper. These characters make up the main people of the entire play, which has a plot that is widely open to interpretation.
The Director of the Drama class, Mrs. Corrine James said she felt the plot was “a true love story, (with) deep jealousy (and) dysfunction” all taking form.

However, Lainey Barta has a different take on the plot. “ ‘The Legend of Sleep Hollow’ revolves all around the fact that this one town seems to be haunted by a whole bunch of ghosts, but no one’s really sure whether or not it’s true.”
“(The play has) a lot more to it than just the Headless Horseman killing Ichabod Crane,” said Chase Estes.
“I think that people should come see ‘The Legend of Sleepy Hollow’ because I think that it’s going to be really funny, I think it’s going to be really fun for everybody to come and watch. We have a really good cast this year, and I think it’s just going to be really fun,” said senior Jessica Lindsay.
There will be dancing, ghosts, singing, unrequited love, and maniacal laughter, everything a good story needs, so make sure you come and see “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow”
