Ice Berg Productions and Sierra Miliziano are set to bring Adam Wachter’s Tarrytown to New York for a limited engagement, with performances beginning October 16, 2025, at The Cell Theater running through October 25. This contemporary chamber musical reimagines Washington Irving’s The Legend of Sleepy Hollow as a psychological queer love triangle set in modern-day upstate New York. Ichabod Crane, a music teacher rebuilding his life, finds himself entangled with Katrina and Brom Van Brunt in a ninety-minute story of longing, desire, and identity. With a witty and deeply melodic score, Wachter crafts a poignant exploration of small-town restlessness and the haunting pull of connection. The three-person company includes Andrew Cekala as Ichabod, Maya Sistruck as Katrina and Jake Goz as Brom.
