Don’t miss the Sussex Academy Theatre production of Hadestown: Teen Edition May 15-16.

This Tony Award–winning musical retells the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, intertwined with the story of Hades and Persephone.

Set to a soulful, folk- and jazz-inspired score by Anaïs Mitchell, Hadestown takes audiences on a powerful journey to the underworld—exploring love, hope, sacrifice, and the cost of holding on or letting go. Brought to life by incredible student talent, this is a hauntingly beautiful story you won’t want to miss.

The curtain rises at 7 p.m., Friday, May 15 and at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m., Saturday, May 16. Tickets are $5 for students and $10 for adults and are available at the door (cash or online) or in advance here: https://go.delaware.gov/apps/s/department-of-education/sussex-academy
