Michigan Shakespeare Festival Announces Cast for October 28th's ICHABOD
By: Rebecca Russo

Lansing - The Michigan Shakespeare Festival is thrilled to announce an All-Star Michigan Cast for the ICHABOD, a new play by accomplished playwright Joseph Zettelmaier. The reading will take place at 3 pm on Saturday, October 28, at the Library of Michigan in Lansing. The events of ICHABOD take place in a tiny tavern just outside the village of Sleepy Hollow. Twenty years earlier, the titular Ichabod had an encounter with the Headless Horseman- and he has at last returned to the town that cast him out.
Michigan favorite John Lepard, Executive Director of the Award Winning Williamston Theatre in Williamston, MI, will headline as Ichabod Crane. Lepard has been seen recently in plays such as Frankie and Johnny in the Clare De Lune, This Wonderful Life, Leaving Iowa, and Bus Stop. He has directed over 15 productions at Williamston and is an adjunct professor at Michigan State University.
