Based on the 1820 short story The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by literary pioneer Washington Irving, Hollow immerses audiences into a ghost-haunted, colonial-era New York. Transformed in a musical by composer Michael Sgouros and director Brenda Bell, the show follows jittery schoolteacher Ichabod Crane as he courts the wealthy daughter of a local landowner, vying for her affection over the efforts of prankster, local hero, and five-time Best Nickname winner Abraham "Brom Bones" Van Brunt. Taking advantage of Crane's superstitions, Bones toys with his anxieties, playing tricks and filling his mind with the legend of the murderous Headless Horseman. The musical raises hairs and elicits gasps or empathetic terror as it explores the mysterious night when Crane vanished with the demon rider purportedly in tow.

The Players Theatre

At The Players Theatre, the focus is on the art. Tucked within Greenwich Village, the building’s stark simplicity only aids the audience’s journey into other worlds, undistracted by glittering walls or stage-hands throwing diamonds into the crowd. Built in 1907 and transformed into a theater in the late ‘40s, the venue hosts an intimate Off-Broadway main stage with 248 seats as well as a 50-seat Off-Off-Broadway black-box theater and four rehearsal spaces.

The Groupon Guide to: New Plays

Anyone who thinks live theater is a dying art hasn't experienced the magic of an actor creating an explosion on stage using only sounds from his mouth or changing into a different character using only a switch of the hat. Take a look at some of the fascinating contemporary plays coming to a theater near you:

The Sanders Family Chronicles: When the family dog dies, the Sanders family's 14 adult children must return to the small Southern town where they grew up. Getting these 14 very different people to agree on one dog's burial plot won't be easy, and you can bet secrets are going to be revealed.

Oh! To Move! or The Weather in Cincinnati Has Never Been So Clear: Don't ever say an old lady can't dance. Ever since her husband passed, Eva Marie can't stop boppin' to the beat. This 67-year-old has a new lease on life, and she's swingin' her stuff at every pub in town when she meets a stranger who loves dancing just as much as she does. This feel-good hit has critics saying "Go, Eva Marie, go!"

The Last Soldier of Queens: When a major corporation comes in and wants to turn all of Queens into a Dormart, a regular working-class man named Reginald Guy stands his ground. As Dormart razes the town to prepare for construction, Reg Guy watches his hometown transform into a postapocalyptic wasteland. It all comes to a head in a climatic showdown between Reg and his nemesis, The Bulldozer Monster.

When will you see the new play "The Last Soldier of Queens"?
