Press Release

​Liberty Bell Drama Company and The Merc Playhouse Presents Hadestown: Teen Edition
Dates: May 13, 14, 16, 17, 18 Location: The Merc Playhouse, Twisp, WA

Liberty Bell Drama Company and The Merc Playhouse are excited to announce their upcoming production of Hadestown: Teen Edition, the critically acclaimed musical by Anais Mitchell. The show will run on May 13, 14, 16, 17 at 7:00 PM and May 18 at 2:00 PM at The Merc Playhouse in Twisp, WA. Doors open 30 minutes before showtime. Don’t miss this opportunity to see the talented Liberty Bell Drama Company cast and crew bring this modern retelling of ancient Greek mythology to life.

The Tony Award-winning musical Hadestown is a modern retelling of the myths of Orpheus and Eurydice, as well as Hades and Persephone, set in a world where the boundaries between life and death are blurred. The musical follows Orpheus, a gifted young musician, whose love for Eurydice leads him to embark on a perilous journey to the underworld in an attempt to rescue her. Eurydice, a poor girl in desperate need, finds herself caught in the clutches of the powerful Hades, the god of the underworld, who offers her a bleak and tempting deal. Meanwhile, the story of Hades and Persephone is woven throughout, exploring the complex relationship between the king and queen of the underworld. In a world where Hades’ fossil fuel factories are churning climate chaos above ground, can Orpheus sing a song that can rekindle Hades’ love for Persephone and bring the seasons back to order? With a mesmerizing score blending folk, jazz, and blues, Hadestown explores themes of love, sacrifice, fate, and the eternal tug-of-war between hope and despair.

“The story of Hadestown is both timeless and deeply relevant,” said Kelly Grayum, Director of Liberty Bell Drama Company. “The characters’ journey through hardship and love speaks to all generations, and we are so proud of the students who are taking on these roles with such passion and commitment.”

The production is made possible thanks to the generous support of our sponsors: The Merc Playhouse, Methow Arts and the Public School Funding Alliance. Their contributions have been essential in bringing this production to the stage, and we are incredibly thankful for their dedication to the arts and local education.

Reserved-seat tickets will be available on April 18 at mercplayhouse.org. General community member tickets will cost $15. MVSD students, staff and the families of cast/crew members get in for free, but it’s advised to reserve your ticket in advance on the Merc website as limited tickets will be available at the door.
