Casting Call for Teens for "Hadestown" Show
Seeking teen performers for the "Hadestown" Show. 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: Auditions will consist of a vocal audition. Please prepare a 32-bar cut (about 1 minute) of a song and bring sheet music for the accompanist. Callbacks November 25. Rehearsals: January 6-February 20, 2026, 4:30-6:30 p.m., February 23-26 4:30 - 8:30 p.m. Performances: February 27-March 8, 2026 Note that a fee will be applied. If interested, please apply.
