Harwood Union High School Presents Tony and Grammy Award-Winning Musical, HADESTOWN: TEEN EDITION
The Harwood Union High School Theatre Department is proud to announce its upcoming spring musical production of Hadestown: Teen Edition. The show, a high-energy adaptation of Anaïs Mitchell’s acclaimed Broadway hit, will run for four performances from Thursday, April 2, through Saturday, April 4, 2026.1
The production presents a powerful, contemporary reimagining of two classic Greek myths—the tragic love story of Orpheus and Eurydice and the tale of King Hades and his wife, Persephone—on the Harwood stage. Featuring Mitchell’s genre-defying music and poetic storytelling, the show promises a moving and memorable theatrical experience for audiences of all ages.
The show features Senior Aiden Heath as Orpheus, Juniors Eireann McDonough as Eurydice, Tarin Askew as Hades, Julia Wulff as Persephone, and Mar Greene as Hermes. Also featured are Seniors Maddie Stephan, Nina Henzel, and Indigo Lees, Juniors Jane Schaefer and Cora Potts, and Sophomore Robin Weigand as the Fates. Senior AJ Brooks leads an ensemble of almost 30 students through the up above and down below worlds of the show. Junior Nyx Gilson is the Scenic Designer for the show, and Sophomore Zoe Legeros serves as the costumer. Junior Cali Neville and Sophomore Franki Beto serve as Stage managers.
The show is once again directed by Scott Weigand, with Music Direction by Molly Desrochers, and choreography by Mary Chudzik. Kenrick Fisher is the lighting designer.
Weigand says of Hadestown: “This show is not just a modern retelling of classic myths, but its theme still resonates today. It’s not just a love story, but a story about the struggle between the haves and have-nots. It is a challenging show that these students have worked hard to present. I think everyone will be moved by their performance.”
