Join Three Brothers Theatre this fall for this spooky adaptation of the Washington Irving classic! Brought to you by a grant from the Waukegan Arts Council! In the quaint village of Sleepy Hollow, stories of wonder and strangeness surround the legend of a mighty headless Hessian. When the humble schoolteacher Ichabod Crane vies for the hand of the beautiful Katrina Van Tassel, the townsfolk might protest, but it is ultimately the Horseman who will decide Ichabod's fate.

Get ready to jump and jive to the classic sounds of Brian Setzer Rockabilly Riot! The three-time Grammy® Award winner is credited with bringing back two retro styles: rockabilly with Stray Cats and swing with The Brian Setzer Orchestra. Along the way, the iconic singer and musician scored numerous hits and sold over 13 million records. As one of the premier guitarists on the planet, Setzer creates an electrifying sound every time he straps on his signature Gretsch guitar. Thanks to his musical prowess, he's built a loyal fanbase and successful career – something that many of his rockabilly idols never had. On stage, Setzer and his band give a nonstop performance that's fresh, spirited and just a whole lot of fun. When it comes to giving fans their money's worth, this is one cat that never goes astray. Fun Fact: A replica of his 1959 Gretsch 6120 guitar from his Stray Cats days is on display at the Smithsonian.
