The Louise O. Gerrits Theater at Wolfson Campus, 25 N.E. Second St., will host a production of Hadestown: Teen Edition by students from The New World School of the Arts.
Viewings of the folk opera will take place on the eighth floor of the 5000 building on May 9 at 7:30 p.m., May 10 at 2 p.m., May 16 at 7:30 p.m. and May 17 at 2 p.m.
Hadestown explores two intertwining love stories from Greek mythology—Orpheus, Eurydice and the gods Hades and Persephone—that invite audiences to the underworld and back.
“People look at this play as Orpheus’ story. But the last person on stage telling the story is Eurydice. She’s trying to break free, it’s her tragedy,” said Silas Hoover, the production’s director. “Through story, we begin to better understand our world and begin to see opportunities where we fail to see those opportunities.”
General admission is $15 per show; admission for students and seniors is $10.
