Seeking Boys and Girls for"Hadestown: Teen Edition"
Seeking teen performers for "Hadestown: Teen Edition". Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: 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. Additional info: Prepare 1-2 min selection of a musical theatre song in the style of the show (please do not sing from Hadestown). Bring karaoke/accompaniment track (a bluetooth speaker will be provided). Memorized. Prepare 1 dramatic monologue from the available options. Memorized.
