Hadestown Teen Edition at Bay Area Performing Arts

This intriguing and beautiful folk opera delivers a deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience. Following two intertwining love stories – that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of immortal King Hades and Lady Persephone – Hadestown invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Inspired by traditions of classic American folk music and vintage New Orleans jazz, Mitchell’s beguiling sung-through musical pits industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love.

After its origins as a DIY community theatre project in 2006 and a studio album in 2010, Hadestownelectrified audiences with its 2016 world premiere at New York Theatre Workshop, becoming the longest-running show in that celebrated theatre’s 40-year history. The production then received its Canadian premiere at Edmonton’s Citadel Theatre in 2017 and then a 2018 sold-out engagement at London’s National Theatre. Hadestown opened on Broadway at the Walter Kerr Theatre on April 17, 2019, developed with and directed by Rachel Chavkin, starring Reeve Carney, André De Shields, Amber Gray, Eva Noblezada and Patrick Page. Hadestown made its West End debut in February 2024 at the Lyric Theatre, London. Directed by Chavkin, the production featured Dónal Finn, Grace Hodgett Young, Zachary James, Melanie La Barrie and Gloria Onitiri.

Bay Area Performing Arts began in 2018 under the direction of Tara Knight. With an empty warehouse and the determination to bring theatre to the community, she built a performing arts center in the heart of Daphne. Musical Theatre shows were the initial goal, but after recognizing that the children wanted to expand their love of music, BAPA added many other performing options to provide more opportunities for growth and development in the arts. We are pleased to offer both theatre productions and academy learning in acting, commercial and classical voice, dance, and technical theatre.

Our goal is to provide joy and fulfillment through celebrating individualism in performing arts. While promoting expressionism to the children, we integrate learning positive values in our family oriented environment. Bay Area Preforming Arts- Where theater and the preforming arts meets family.
