Raue Center School For The Arts: HADESTOWN Teen Edition

RCSA is absolutely thrilled to be producing this incredible show! It’s one of the most sought-after titles in youth theatre right now, and for good reason! The music of Hadestown: Teen Edition is electrifying, a story that is deeply moving, and one that offers performers a chance to dive into rich, dynamic characters. Bringing this in-demand production to the Raue stage is an exciting opportunity for our performers and a true treat for audiences who get to experience its magic live.
Auditions: May 26 – 29, 2026
Evening auditions will include 2 days of Vocal/Acting Auditions, Dance Auditions, and Callbacks.
