As much fun as the play is, we save
the best for last -- the spooky Halloween ride of:
The Headless Horseman!

Producers, this fast-paced script follows the familiar story as you know it and Washington Irving wrote it.  There are no unexpected sidelines or story tangents, just the famous spine-tingler with lots of suspense and uproarious comedy!  Can be performed by as few as 3 or more than 20, for touring or mainstage.  The script includes instructions on how to make an inexpensive headless horseman!
