On-The-Go! Tour performances are set to travel throughout the Capital Region, beginning this fall and running through 2025.
Collaborative School of the Arts On-The-Go! tours are sponsored by Citizens Bank and include “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” and “Friend of a Friend: Tales of the Underground Railroad.”
On-The-Go! 2024 Performances
On-The-Go! will be performing “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” by Washington Irving, from October through November 2. Maggie Mancinelli-Cahill adapted the play, with Justin Friello and Lecco Morris providing original music. In the play, Hollywood A-Lister Jasmine Vander Hooven finds herself alone on a gloomy night to perform a podcast of Irving’s classic. Fans do not need to worry as Mancinelli-Cahill’s adaptation gives Irving’s tale contemporary treatment that honors the original. Complete with live Foley sound effects and music, the performance is sure to inspire and delight audiences of all ages.

Starting in 2025, On-The-Go’s “Friend of a Friend: Tales of the Underground Railroad” by Maggie Mancinelli-Cahill and Jill Rafferty-Weinisch will begin on January 27 and end on February 15.
Through the captivating narrative of Capital Region natives like Solomon Northup and his family, and Harriet and Stephen Myers, the audience is taken on a journey along the Underground Railroad.
