Hadestown: Teen Edition is a full-length adaptation of Anaïs Mitchell’s Hadestown, modified for teen actors and family audiences. Drawing inspiration from Greek myth, this beguiling sung-through musical will take you on a haunting journey to the underworld and back in a powerful reimagining of two ancient love stories: Orpheus and Eurydice, and Hades and Persephone.

Eurydice, desperate to escape the harsh reality of the human world, makes a fateful deal with Hades and descends into his domain, the underworld of Hadestown, where the promise of safety comes at a high price. Orpheus, a talented but idealistic musician, sets out on a dangerous journey to bring her back, armed only with the power of his song and the strength of his love. Guided by his mentor Hermes and hounded by the Fates, Orpheus ventures deep into the underworld, where he is confronted by the forces of doubt, fear, and destiny. Meanwhile, Persephone (the goddess of spring) and Hades wrestle with the balance of love and power in their own relationship. Can Orpheus save his beloved Eurydice? Can Hades and Persephone rekindle the relationship they once had?
