New Surry Theatre proudly presents Hadestown: Teen Edition book, music & lyrics by Anais Mitchell. This 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 the immortal King Hades and lady Persephone – Hadestown invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Teens from across Hancock County work together to bring this production to life at New Surry Theatre. 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.

Directed by Lori Sitzabee. Performances January 2, 3, 9, 10, 16, & 17 at 7pm and 11 at 3pm at the Blue Hill Town Hall Theater at 18 Union Street in Blue Hill. For tickets visit www.newsurrytheatre.org or call 207-200-4720
