Hadestown: Teen Edition

August 1, 2, 3 at the BalletNOVA Fredgren Studio Theater

Book, Music, & Lyrics by Anais Mitchell

​

Theatrical stage scene with diverse cast holding drinks, some raising glasses, celebrating; stage dimly lit with a dark background, some actors in period costumes.
A woman with long curly hair in theatrical costume surrounded by people holding lanterns in a dark setting.
Stage scene with multiple performers dressed in vintage work clothes, some wearing headscarves and gloves, participating in a theatrical production, with a dark background and minimal lighting highlighting the actors.

“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 journey to the underworld and back through the retelling of a haunting Greek tragedy. Inspired by traditions of classic American folk music and vintage New Orleans jazz, Hadestown pits industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love. This intriguing and beautiful folk opera delivers a deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience.”
