Ichabod Crane is an educated man among bumpkins, who fancies himself an artist, an intellectual and a highly desirable suitor. Though Ichabod scoffs at the legend of a headless horseman who haunts the county on his horse, one fateful night he encounters a phenomenon that cannot be explained away. Was it a prank? Or did he really meet the Headless Horseman? This "play with music" is a perfect celebration of Halloween spookiness with enough fun and frolic to make it a favorite for all ages. |

The residents of Idaville have given teen-ager Leroy Brown the nickname of "Encyclopedia" because of his acute skill in deductive reasoning. Sometimes he assists his father, the local police chief, in solving difficult cases, but mostly he practices the art of detection in the family garage assisting his friends in unraveling mysteries. Using a game show format, this pro duction challenges individual audience members to match wits with the genius boy detective. Can you solve the mysteries? |
