Hadestown: Teen Edition
This July, join us as our Young Company presents Hadestown: Teen Edition. In her directing debut for Theatre Orangeville, incoming Artistic Director, Jennifer Stewart, will lead our youth acting troupe to command the stage in the teen-version of this Tony Award winning musical.
About the show:
This intriguing and beautiful story delivers a deeply resonant and definitely 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: Teen Edition invites audiences on a boisterous journey to the underworld and back.
Inspired by traditions of classic American folk music and vintage New Orleans jazz, this sung-through musical pits industry against nature, doubt against devotion, and fear against love. Hadestown: Teen Edition is a full-length adaptation of Anaïs Mitchell’s Hadestown, modified for performance by teen actors for family audiences.

What is Theatre for Young Audiences?
We believe theatre is a powerful tool. It dramatizes and contextualizes the world. It invites us to walk in other’s shoes; see the world through their eyes.
All of our Theatre for Young Audiences (TYA)Â shows are grounded in the Ontario curriculum; they teach, through theatre.
Bonus: we hire educators to create study packages, so your classroom can get the most out of the experience.
Theatre doesn’t have to break the bank.
