Public Performances: November 13 & 14 at 7 PM November 15 at 3 PM Tickets Adults: $12 advance / $15 at door Seniors & Students / $10 advance or at door Wilson Arts’ ACT! for Youth’s second production of the 2026-2027 will be THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW, a stage adaptation of Washington Irving’s classic American ghost story. The production opens, fittingly, on Halloween night, October 31, with additional public performances November 1 and 13-15 at the Edna Boykin Cultural Center in downtown Wilson. In the quaint village of Sleepy Hollow, stories of wonder and strangeness surround the legend of a mighty headless Hessian. When humble schoolteacher Ichabod Crane vies with Brom Bones for the hand of the beautiful Katrina Van Tassel, the townsfolk may have their opinions, but ultimately it is the legendary Headless Horseman who will decide Ichabod’s fate. The Heimbuch/Ferguson adaptation brings the eerie tale to life through an ensemble that creates the environment, atmosphere and colorful residents of Sleepy Hollow.
