Brenda Hattingh has been acting in the Salt Lake City area since 2016. 

Her favorite roles include Mother in Shockheaded Peter, Lavinia in Julie Jensen’s play Two Headed directed by Fran Pruyn, and Phyllis in Body Awareness directed by Morag Shepherd. To her, the best part of the theatrical process is creating and getting to play with talented people. She is so excited to be a part of this spooky adventure! 

When she’s not acting, she’s most likely illustrating a children’s book, painting someone’s pet, or hiking with her pups in the Wasatch range. She also loves to travel with her amazing and talented husband. 

Life is good, let’s get spooky!

This is a happy return for Michael for a couple of reasons.  He’s returning as an actor (for a limited time only)after 9 years in his role as an audience member.  But he is even more excited to return to Sleepy Hollow after his last visit there 30 years ago when he played the guy himself,  The Headless Horseman!  Michael has been seen on stages here and there in many well-loved roles.  But currently, his favorite role is the role of Boring Dog Dad to his sweet little guy, Oliver.

He is excited to be part of this ensemble performing for Active Pages and bringing to life the Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Tom is originally from New Jersey, a proud Weber State Theater graduate, and holds an MFA from the University of Utah.
