Hadestown: Teen Edition

November 14

Overview

Jackson Academy Performing Arts takes on the Tony Award-winning musical “Hadestown” with a cast of 50 students, a full live orchestra, and a score steeped in folk, jazz, and blues. The production follows its characters between worlds on a rotating stage, all designed and built in-house by JA’s Performing Arts team.

This staging brings new tricks to the JA stage. For the first time, actors will rise and descend through a trap door in the stage floor. Phillip Browning (Hades) and Anna Caroline Long (Persephone) make their journey to Hadestown straight through the floor. Look up during “Wait for Me,” when student crew members fly swinging lights in from above, another first for the school’s fly system.

No familiarity with the story is needed.
