HadesTown Teen Edition Final Dress Rehearsal at the Old Town Playhouse
This intriguing and beautiful folk opera delivers a deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience. Following two intertwining the 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, this musical pits industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love.
Performed by students in our Advanced Musical Theatre Workshop on the OTP Mainstage with a youth pit orchestra.
Please RSVP to info@wearebettertogethernm.org so we know you are planning to attend.
