Copper Studios: Hadestown- Teen Edition

After the critically acclaimed productions of ‘Chicago‘ & ‘A Chorus Line‘, Copper Elite now descends into shadows with Hadestown: Teen Edition, where myths are reborn in smoke, brass, and song.

This is a tale sung across time: two love stories entwined. Orpheus, a dreamer with a song to heal the world, and Eurydice, a wanderer seeking safety from the storm. Hades, the iron-fisted King, and Persephone, the goddess of spring whose laughter once greened the earth. Their fates dance between light and darkness, faith and doubt, love and fear.

Inspired by the spell of American folk and the fire of New Orleans jazz, Anaïs Mitchell’s Hadestown is no ordinary musical, it is a living myth, a folk opera that reminds us even in the silence of the underworld, music can rise. 

Guided by the hand of Harry Hindley (Director & Musical Director) and brought to life through the elemental choreography of Megan Hindley, Copper Elite invites you to follow the road down to Hadestown and back again.

*Runtime of approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes (including interval) 

*It is recommended for ages 8+ with some content related to violence, substance use and mature themes. Theatrical Haze, strobing and loud effects will be used during the performance.

Hadestown Teen Edition is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Corp. www.concordtheatricals.com
