Step into the underworld this summer with Hadestown: Teen Edition, an intriguing and deeply moving folk opera that blends myth, music, and magic. This full-length production invites teen performers to tackle rich storytelling, complex characters, and a thrilling, sung-through score inspired by classic American folk music and vintage New Orleans jazz.
Hadestown follows two intertwining love stories: the hopeful young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and the immortal, stormy romance of King Hades and Persephone. As Orpheus journeys to the underworld to reclaim his true love, the story explores powerful themes of doubt versus faith, fear versus love, and industry versus nature—delivering a theatrical experience that is both haunting and defiantly hopeful.
