Ovation Theatre Presents 'Hadestown'

Award-winning Ovation Theatre proudly presents "Hadestown" opening August 7th in San Marcos. 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, Anaïs Mitchell’s beguiling sung-through musical pits industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love.

Content and Duration:

Ovation Theatre's production of "Hadestown" is the Teen Edition adapted specifically for teen actors and family audiences.

The show has a run time of 2 hours and 30 minutes including one intermission and is generally recommended for audiences age 10 and up.
