TUTS Will Stage HADESTOWN: TEEN EDITION with Houston's Young Talent

TUTS Education will invite audiences to journey to the underworld in an electrifying student production of Hadestown: Teen Edition, brought to life by a cast of rising young performers. This bold, jazz-infused folk opera showcases the incredible artistry, passion, and dedication of Houston's most talented students in a reimagined telling of the Tony Award-winning musical. 

“This production is a powerful reminder that the future of musical theatre is already here,” said TUTS Director of Education Adavion Wayne. “Hadestown: Teen Edition challenges our students vocally, emotionally, and artistically, and they rise to that challenge in extraordinary ways. Audiences will witness not just a performance, but the emergence of the next generation of storytellers.”  

Performed entirely by student artists, Hadestown: Teen Edition is a full-length adaptation of Anaïs Mitchell's celebrated Broadway hit, specially modified for teen performers and family audiences.
