Casting Call For "Hadestown: Teen Edition" Play
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. Seeking young talent for "Hadestown: Teen Edition" play. See the details below. 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: Callbacks: Tuesday, October 27, 6:30 PM Public Performances: - Friday, March 12, 7:00 PM - Saturday, March 13, 7:00 PM - Sunday, March 14, 3:00 PM For initial auditions, be prepared to sing the cut (or cuts) for the roles for which you are auditioning.
