Casting Teen Performers for "Hadestown" Teen Edition
Middle and High School Performers are welcome to try out for "Hadestown" Teen Edition. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Hadestown intertwines two mythic tales—that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone—as it invites you on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Mitchell’s beguiling melodies and Chavkin’s poetic imagination pit industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love. Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors, dancers, and singers, Hadestown is a haunting and hopeful theatrical experience that grabs you and never lets go.
