2024 Matinee Program
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
In the village of Sleepy Hollow, there is the legend of the Headless Man who rides at night and the missing townsmen rumored to have crossed his path. When Ichabod Crane moves to town as the new schoolmaster, he tries to deny the story but slowly comes to fear the dark forest. Although he claims he does not believe in such tales, all of his attempts at bravery may prove to be futile.

Student Matinee Program
The Student Matinee Program provides students with an interactive opportunity to experience professional theatre. The program includes discounted tickets for students, access to a study guide about the production, a unique chance to attend a talk back with the cast and creative team to ask about the show or their careers in the theatre industry, and space available to eat a packed lunch after the performance.
GVT's mission is to produce high-quality, live theatre in West Virginia, aiming to enlighten, enrich, and invigorate the lives of our community. The Student Matinee Program exemplifies the positive impact that live theatre can have, particularly on young people. Our Education Program recognizes that such opportunities are scarce for students in many other parts of the state and country, and we take pride in providing this valuable experience for students in our region.
This fall's performance dates for The Legend of Sleepy Hollow are October 18, 23, 24, 25, 29, & 30. All performances begin at 10am. The approximate runtime is 96 minutes with no intermission. Student tickets are $8. Bus drivers and chaperones get in for free.
Dates are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis and tend to fill up quickly. Depending on group sizes, each matinee can seat multiple groups.
Further details are available in the GVT Student Matinee Program Guide.
