The Mount Vernon High School Theatre Department will be performing its fall musical Hadestown this weekend, November 7-9.

Hadestown is a retelling of two ancient Greek myths: the story of Orpheus and Eurydice and the tale of Hades and Persephone. It is sung-through and has a cool, jazz-infused score with some of the best (and hardest) music they’ve attempted on stage.

They have also been invited to perform on the mainstage of the Iowa Thespian Festival at UNI in mid-November, showcasing the talent of our actors, technicians, and musicians for a statewide audience of nearly 1,000 theatre students.
