Hadestown: Teen Edition is afull-length adaptation of Anas Mitchells Hadestown, modified for performance by teen actors for family audiences.
This intriguing and beautiful folk opera delivers a deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience. Following two intertwining timeless myths that of young dreamers Orpheus & Eurydice, and that of immortal King Hades & Lady Persephone in a story about love, faith, and the fight against oppression.
Hadestown is a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Inspired by traditions of classic American folk music and vintage New Orleans jazz, Mitchells beguiling sung-through musical pits industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love.
