Cast/Crew List - Hadestown

In ways I can’t begin to describe, thank you!  This has been an amazing experience. Humbling to be sure…and you have my most heartfelt thanks for making this an amazing week. One of the rarest things a director at this level gets to do is choose from a group of fully-capable performers to craft a truly unique and potentially fully-to-vision piece of theatre.  So few people who came in this week were so early in their artistic journey that this show was beyond their skills at the moment.  We all have things that are just too challenging for where we are at...welcome to being human. The remaining vast majority of people auditioning ranged anywhere from capable to truly breathtaking.  We were able to take from the folks who gave their all for us a truly exciting, totally unique vision of the show that will do our community, our company, and ourselves proud.  From all of us who’ve sat with you and been blown away by the quality of your work and your heart, thank you!

All Actors, Crew (of all types), and Stage Mgmt/ASMs listed below should be ready to attend the MANDATORY rehearsal Monday, 9/16, and should begin reading through the perusal script to get a handle on the show…dive in directly.

Also, please go to

Callback List - Hadestown

Hey all,

Thank you.

No, seriously…thank you!

This was an amazing General Audition process. Over the last two days we’ve heard some powerhouse voices, some soulful sounds, and seen some sick dance work. Daannnggg…..!

So, once again, thank you.

At this stage we need to narrow our focus a little bit. As I said to the Generals group tonight, many of the folks who won’t see their name below are missing, not because they failed in any way…but rather because some other folks who came in were that freaking good, or there was something singular that set those called back apart. Chances are someone isn't listed below because at this particular moment in their journey, there’s something in their work, their technique, or their confidence level that has room to grow. Welcome to having to audition against a bigger pool of talented, passionate artists…it’s not easy, but let it push you onward to grow and strengthen your practice. For pretty much all of you, the tools are there; it’s just you need time to sharpen them. I look forward to being with you on that journey.

Remember, folks on the Callback list below, the plan for tomorrow, as per the Audition Packet, is:

9/12: LARGE VOCAL CALLBACK
     400p-600p: Group Vocal Work in the Choir Room/Rm. 105
     -Workers: Learn song (‘Chant’) with Vocal Director, sing in combination AND solo
     -Fates: Basses and Tenors released; Altos/Tenors repeat process with Treble-voiced song (to be 

     announced at Callback)

I hope to see many of you on the Crew Application sign up, should your name not be below. Your passion for the show is obvious, and I’d love you to be a part of it.

Auditions Info...Add'l

 Hey there, folks...got some additional information about the audition process:

1) Audition Packets are available in Rm 108/Theatre Lab.  If you don't want to print off the whole thing at home, come by and get one.

2) At Callbacks on 9/12 we will be working primarily with the song 'Chant' in various forms.  Feel free to look at that song in advance to prepare, should you be called back on that day (see link below).  I have paper copies in the Theatre Lab also, if you want one.

CHANT

We'll be looking at the following sections: 

Persephone (m. 25-32)

In the coldest time of year

Why is it so hot down here?

Hotter than a crucible

It ain’t right and it ain’t natural (A-ooh)

Hades (m. 33-40, 49-55)

Lover you were gone so long

Lover I was lonesome

So I built a foundry

In the ground beneath your feet

[CUT]

Lover when you feel that fire

Think of it as my desire

Think of it as my desire for you

Eurydice (m 101-116)

Looking high and looking low

For the food and food wood I know

We need to find and I am 

Keeping one eye on the sky and

Try’n to trust 

That the song he’s working on is gonna

Shelter us

From the wind, the wind, the wind

Orpheus (m 154-157, 178-193) & (194-207)

They can’t find the tune

They can’t feel the rhythm

[CUT]

And that is the reason we’re on this road

And the seasons are wrong

And the wind is so strong

That’s why times are so hard

Its because of the gods

The gods have forgotten the song of their love

Singin’…

La la la…

Welcome to a World of Love and Life, of Fire and Song

Hadestown: Teen Edition

And...Here We Go!

The week of 9/9 will be a big one for us, as we prepare for this exciting project!
