Nitsch Theatre Arts will present Hadestown: Teen Edition at the NTA Center for Creativity (located at 2442 Centennial Drive in Washington) at 7 pm. Tickets are $17.39 and are available at http://www.nitschtheatrearts.org
This intriguing and beautiful folk opera delivers a deeply resonant and defiantly 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 invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Inspired by traditions of classic American folk music and vintage New Orleans jazz, Mitchell’s beguiling sung-through musical pits industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love.
