HADESTOWN: TEEN EDITION to Be Staged by Children's Theatre Company in Minneapolis
Anaïs Mitchell's musical will be directed by Alli St. John at CTC's Triple Threat Summer Intensive.
Children's Theatre Company's 2026 Triple Threat production will be Hadestown: Teen Edition, by Anaïs Mitchell – a bold and unforgettable musical journey inspired by the ancient Greek myths of Orpheus and Eurydice.
Hadestown: Teen Edition will be directed by Alli St. John, with music direction by Justin Cook, and choreography by Cleo DeOrio. More information is available at http://childrenstheatre.org/hadestown.
Students enrolled in the Triple Threat Summer Intensive spend the first half of their day in theatre arts training (classes in acting, movement, voice, and more) and the second half in rehearsal for the production. Past productions include Carrie, Rent, Be More Chill, Head Over Heels, Twelfth Night, and the World Premiere of The Garden.
The students work with professional directors, professional designers, and other experienced theatre artists and practitioners. The focus is on process; students have the opportunity to hone their craft, dig deeper, and build their community.
About the Show
Blending folk, jazz, blues, and contemporary musical theatre, Hadestown: Teen Edition follows two intertwining stories: young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and the powerful King Hades and Persephone.
As Eurydice is drawn into the underground world of Hadestown, Orpheus must risk everything to bring her home, discovering the power of hope, love, and perseverance along the way.
With a hauntingly beautiful score by Anaïs Mitchell and a Tony Award-winning Broadway legacy, Hadestown: Teen Edition offers audiences a theatrical experience that is both timeless and deeply relevant.
