OGDENSBURG -- St. John’s Conservatory Theater will hold auditions for their musical comedy “Kreepy Hallow” on Saturday Aug. 22 at 6 p.m.

The production is based on Washington Irving's classic short story "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.”

Auditions are at JCT's theater on the 2nd floor of the St. John's Parish House at the corner of Franklin and Knox streets in Ogdensburg.

JCT is looking for children ages 10-15, but event organizers say “all ages are strongly

encouraged to tryout.”

Participants should arrive early and be prepared to sing their favorite song a capella. Rehearsals will be scheduled throughout September.

The show will run Oct. 16, 17, 18, 23, 24 and 25.

“Kreepy Hallow” is a family-friendly musical featuring an original book, music and lyrics by award-winning playwright and composer Brazillia R. Kreep. Set in the 1840’s when the first appointed female teacher, Miss Ichaboda Krane, takes over the ghostly schoolroom built on top of a sacred Native American burial ground. With a classroom filled with eclectic children, her “eye” on Bartholomeus Van Tassel, a few unexpected guests, and a jealous local woman Electra Van Brunt watching her every move, Miss Ichaboda Krane’s Halloween celebration turns into a most haunting affair. Narrated by Brazillia R. Kreep himself, “Kreepy Hallow” tells the tale of Ichaboda Krane’s encounter with all things that go bump in the night as the dreadful Headless Horseman rides again.

The play includes musical direction by Angela Conzone Dwyer, musical arrangements by Ryan C. McNally, set and prop designs by Stephen Chambers, costumes and makeup by Ann Losurdo and Karen Fischbeck Carmany, stage managed by Sadie Smith, technical direction and production coordination by Christopher Dwyer, and is directed by Richard O’Donnell.

Other vital JCT personnel include rector Fr. Michael O’Donnell, assistant stage manager Baily Durham, assistant technical director Ryan Woodard, house manager Sheila LaMere and general manager Bill LaMere.
