Video: Children's Theatre Company Presents HADESTOWN: TEEN EDITION
Summer intensive students stage the Tony-winning musical's teen adaptation in Minneapolis.
Learn more about Hadestown: Teen Edition, staged by students in Children's Theatre Company's summer intensive program in Minneapolis.
Hadestown reimagines the ancient myths of Orpheus and Eurydice alongside Hades and Persephone, setting the story to a blend of folk and jazz-inflected songs. The teen edition condenses the show for younger performers while preserving its central story of love, choice, and the underworld.
The production comes out of Children's Theatre Company's summer intensive, a program designed to give students hands-on experience mounting a full-scale musical. Casting Director and Associate Producer Alli St. John directed the production, guiding students through rehearsals over the course of the intensive.
The cast of Hadestown: Teen Edition features Mira Brossart as Ensemble, Zoe Hagen as Ensemble (Fate #1 Understudy), Agustin Michael Anderson Garcia as Ensemble, Lola Jones as Eurydice, Barlow Kimball as Ensemble (Hades Understudy), Raina Dixit as Ensemble, Arianna Hymes as Ensemble, Linnea Cole as Ensemble (Eurydice Understudy), Falcon Scarpello as Ensemble, Claire Lamatsch as Fate #3, Veronica Finc as Ensemble (Fate #2 Understudy), Lynnie Krautbauer as Ensemble (Hermes Understudy), Mason Yang as Orpheus, Nyla Spika as Persephone, Harper Feist as Ensemble (Orpheus Understudy), Mira Ripley as Ensemble (Fate #3 Understudy), Jacory Shipp as Fate #1, Lexi Anderson as Fate #2, Ethan Cuellar as Hermes, Logan Warner as Hades, and Lorna Oliveira as Ensemble (Persephone Understudy).
Children's Theatre Company previously discussed the production ahead of its run, with St. John describing the experience of directing the show and what audiences could expect from the staging. That conversation is detailed in BroadwayWorld's interview with Alli St. John of Hadestown: Teen Edition at Children's Theatre Company.
