RESTON, VA — South Lakes Theatre Arts hopes to extend Halloween chills and thrills into November, with its new show, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow."

Playwrights Peter and Hans Bloedel reimagine Washington Irving's classic tale of Ichabob Crane, the quirky school teacher who comes face-to-face with the eerie legend of the Headless Horseman.

South Lakes students will use original puppetry, elaborate hair and makeup, gothic soundscapes to present this spellbinding spectacle for a new generation.
