&lt;p&gt;Friday and Saturday 7PM; Sunday Matinee at 2PM&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hadestown tells a version of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_mythology" rel="noopener" target="_blank"&gt;ancient Greek myth&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orpheus_and_Eurydice" rel="noopener" target="_blank"&gt;Orpheus and Eurydice&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurydice" rel="noopener" target="_blank"&gt;Eurydice&lt;/a&gt;, a young girl looking for something to eat, goes to work in a hellish industrial version of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_underworld" rel="noopener" target="_blank"&gt;Greek underworld&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to escape poverty and the cold, and her poor singer-songwriter lover&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orpheus" rel="noopener" target="_blank"&gt;Orpheus&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;comes to rescue her.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This intriguing and beautiful folk opera delivers a deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience. Following two intertwining love stories &amp;mdash; that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of immortal King Hades and Lady Persephone &amp;mdash;Inspired by traditions of classic American folk music and vintage New Orleans jazz,&lt;/p&gt;
