Taconic High School Stages 'Hadestown: Teen Edition'

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — After six transformative months of preparation and an exciting opening weekend, the Taconic High School theater department will conclude its spring musical, "Hadestown: Teen Edition."
 
This Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m., the students will be hitting the stage to perform the family-friendly adaptation of Anaïs Mitchell's Tony-winning Broadway musical "Hadestown." Tickets are $13 for adults and $8 for students. 
 
The jazz-inflected folk opera follows Orpheus' mythical quest to overcome Hades and regain the love of his true love, Eurydice.
 
"'Hadestown' is the first show that we've done that has had a lot of character meat behind it, where we're really delving into the motivations and the story itself," said Caitlyn Martin, theater director. 
 
Martin described how she observed the students engaging in debates with each other about the reasons behind certain events. 
 
This experience has been truly impactful because it's not just about their performances on stage; they are also reflecting on these issues off stage, she said. 
 
The students are exploring why people react the way they do and recognizing that emotions are more complex than anger, happiness, or sadness, prompting them to delve deeper into these feelings.
