Journey to the Underworld — Hadestown: Teen Edition Coming to CentreStage in 2026!

The buzz is electric across the CentreStage Performing Arts Academy as our Senior Troupe students have just discovered their 2026 production — Hadestown: Teen Edition!

Following months of anticipation, students found out during class this week that they’ll be stepping into Anaïs Mitchell’s Tony Award-winning world of gods, lovers, and the power of music. The excitement in the room was palpable, and we can’t wait to see what this talented group of young performers will bring to this epic story.

Hadestown takes audiences on a mythical journey to the underworld and back, blending the timeless tale of Orpheus and Eurydice with modern storytelling and a soulful, folk-jazz-inspired score. It’s a story of hope, resilience, and the unbreakable human spirit — themes that resonate deeply with our students as they grow as performers and storytellers.

This Teen Edition has been specially adapted for young performers, giving them the opportunity to tackle rich characters, complex harmonies, and meaningful themes — all within a supportive and educational environment.
