The Bearcat Theatre Company's production of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow was a spooktacular success, drawing more than 300 audience members throughout the weekend.

Audiences were full of praise for the talented cast and their performances. One attendee called it “the perfect way to kick off my spooky season,” while another shared, “What a great show! Very talented cast!” Another audience member complimented the actors' portrayal of the time period, saying it transported them right into the town of Sleepy Hollow.

The production featured 15 WHS cast members, 16 student crew members, and four adult production staff members. Since rehearsals began on August 19, the dedicated team put in more than 114 hours preparing to bring this spooky tale to life!

Director Mr. Hanaway had nothing but praise for his team, "I am so proud of the whole cast and crew who put this show on!"
