SPOOKY BONUS EPISODE: "Sleepy Hollow" Radio Drama Set in 1941 Seattle and Concrete, WA


Listen Later

On yet another SPOOKY BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY, we present archival audio from the October 2011 LIVE broadcast from Seattle of an adaptation of Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." This version is set in pre-war 1941 Seattle and the Skagit County town of Concrete. The protagonist, played brilliantly by Jim Dever, is soft-boiled, runny-yolked private detective - and washed up high school English teacher - Irving Washington. See what we did there?
This adaptation was produced, written and directed by CASCADE OF HISTORY host Feliks Banel. It was performed live at Town Hall Seattle before a live audience, and was broadcast live on a local radio station. It was part of a nationwide radio drama project to produce unique "Sleepy Hollow" versions in all four time zones across the continental United States.
The cast includes many well-known broadcasters and performers, including Ralph "Jet Guy" Bevins, Lee Callahan, Chris Cashman, Pat Cashman, Tracey Conway, Jim Dever, John Maynard, and Dolores Rogers. Music was composed and performed by Rob Jones; live sound effects were designed and performed by Curtis Takahashi.
CASCADE OF HISTORY is broadcast LIVE most Sunday nights at 8pm Pacific Time via SPACE 101.1 FM in Seattle and gallantly streams everywhere via www.space101fm.org. The radio station is located at historic Magnuson Park - formerly Sand Point Naval Air Station - on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle.
