SCHOOL SHOW: ACT! for Youth presents HADESTOWN: TEEN EDITION

HADESTOWN: TEEN EDITION
Tuesday, May 18, 2027 at 10 AM
Suggested: Middle & High School
Musical | Runtime: Approx. 120 minutes with intermission
Rated PG13
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.
