NATIONAL THEATRE OF THE DEAF PRESENTS "THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW" AT WILLIAM PATERSON UNIVERSITY -Zelda Rubinstein, best known for her role as the medium in Poltergeist I, II and III, stars in the production "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," Washington Irving's classic 1819 tale, is given a fresh interpretation by the Tony Award-winning National Theatre of the Deaf on Friday, November 3 at William Paterson University in Wayne. The play will be held at 7 p.m. in Shea Center on campus and is appropriate for children in fourth through ninth grades. Tickets are $7. Zelda Rubinstein, the "Queen of Horror" best known for her role as the medium in Poltergeist I, II and III and her appearances in "Tales from the Crypt" and "Picket Fences" will appear in the production. The National Theatre of the Deaf's unique style, described as "sculpture in air," infuses spoken dialogue with sign language for both hearing and hearing-impaired audiences. Is the headless horseman for real, or a malicious prank designed to avert Ichabod Crane's affections for Katrina Van Tassel? The audience will be invited to be the judge as both deaf and hearing actors lead us through the dark and winding streets of Tarrytown, New York to the hoofbeats of the soldier who has truly lost his head. For reservations, please call the Shea Center Box Office at 973-720-2371. William Paterson University, one of the
