Join us for a sneak peek inside the working creative process of Manor Mill Playhouse's next main stage production, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, adapted from Washington Irving’s classic tale, running October 9th-18th at the David Niven Theater at Oldfields School.

In this dynamic Masterclass session, peer inside the rehearsal process with director Vanessa Eskridge and witness the cast at work developing this highly collaborative piece. Then, join the cast as the production’s Movement Director Lauren Meley teaches the specific techniques used to create the play’s signature look and feel.

No prior dance experience is required; just wear comfortable clothes and most importantly, bring your openness to create and play. You may also opt to continue to observe.

This event is free and open to the public, but parking and space is limited, so plan to arrive early and register below to guarantee your seat!
