PRATTVILLE, Ala. — Following the successful launch of the Spotlight on Spillway Series, the City of Prattville Parks & Recreation Department and Way Off Broadway Theatre are excited to announce auditions for the series’ second production, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, adapted by Catherine Bush from Washington Irving’s timeless classic.
Auditions will be held Saturday, August 22, and Sunday, August 23, at 6:00 p.m. at Way Off Broadway Theatre, 203 W. Fourth Street in downtown Prattville. The production is directed by Tye Terrell-Devore, with performances scheduled for October 9–11 at Spillway Park.
Designed for audiences of all ages, this family-friendly adaptation blends humor, mystery, and just the right amount of spooky fun as the superstitious schoolmaster Ichabod Crane encounters the legendary Headless Horseman. Performed outdoors beneath the autumn sky, the production continues WOBT’s mission of bringing high-quality live theatre into one of Prattville’s most beloved public spaces.
“We were overwhelmed by the community’s response to Alice in Wonderland and are thrilled to continue the Spotlight on Spillway Series with another beloved classic,” said Martha Wilkinson, Theatre Coordinator for Way Off Broadway Theatre. “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is the perfect fall adventure!”
“The Spotlight on Spillway Series has become a wonderful way to bring families together while showcasing the beauty of our parks,” said Kellie Carter, Director of Parks & Recreation for the City of Prattville. “We’re excited to continue this partnership with Way Off Broadway Theatre and invite our community to become part of the experience by auditioning.”
The production features a variety of roles for performers ages 17 and up and for ALL experience levels. Those interested in auditioning should arrive prepared for cold readings from the script. No prior theatre experience is necessary.
The Spotlight on Spillway Series is a collaborative initiative between Way Off Broadway Theatre and the City of Prattville Parks & Recreation Department, created to expand access to the arts through free, family-friendly outdoor theatre experiences that celebrate storytelling, community, and the city’s beautiful public spaces.
