The Margaret E. Heggan Free Public Library in Washington Township will present "Ichabod Crane: Washington Irving and the Legend of Sleepy Hollow" on Monday, Oct. 5, at 7 p.m.
Neill Hartley as Washington Irving, brings you into Irving's world and introduces you to his work, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." Hartley narrates his tale and then enters his story, becoming his alter ego, Ichabod Crane. Hartley is mesmerizing as Ichabod Crane: Tall and slim like Ichabod, Hartley was also born in upstate New York and, like Ichabod, teaches voice and rides horses. It's perfect casting that makes for a perfectly eerie entertaining event.
Hartley is a multi-talented actor, director, teacher, coach and spokesperson who earned his MFA from Temple University. He is currently a faculty member of the University of the Arts and a speech and dialect coach for several professional theaters.
