Titusville High is one of the first school’s in the country to put on a production of "Hadestown, Teen Edition." The show is based on a book by Anais Mitchell that tells the story of Orpheus and Eurydice from Greek mythology. According to Nathaniel Licht, one of show’s directors, the musical mirrors many contemporary issues. “It offers, as art should, a mirror up to the social state of the world and country. It offers some perspective on some tough issues in a creative way," he said. "It really looks at where we are in the world right now. It's a timeless story. That's why Greek literature has been around for so long because it really is timeless. And at the end of the day it's about love." The show runs Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. in high school's historic Colestock Auditorium. |
"I'm really proud of this show. It's not typically a show that is done by high schoolers," Licht said. "And these kids deliver."
