Winner of eight Tony Awards including Best Musical, HADESTOWN is an intriguing and beautiful folk opera that delivers a deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience. Following two intertwining love stories — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of immortal King Hades and lady Persephone — HADESTOWN invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Inspired by traditions of classic American folk music and vintage New Orleans jazz, Mitchell’s beguiling sung-through musical pits industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love. The just released Teen Edition of HADESTOWN provides the full Broadway musical experience, edited slightly for high school performers.
Coming May 2025!
Arabian Nights
Arabian Nights
Due to unanticipated circumstances, North’s spring play, HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD has been postponed until spring of 2026. North’s 2025 spring production will be Tony Award-winning playwright Mary Zimmerman’s ARABIAN NIGHTS. Zimmerman’s acclaimed adaptation weaves ancient tales of wonder into a rich and poetic testament to the transformational power of storytelling. King Shahryar marries, loves, then kills a young woman each night—until he encounters Scheherezade. For one thousand and one nights, he delays her execution as he eagerly awaits her next tale of love, hilarity, or sorrow. Wonderfully visual and theatrical in its approach, Zimmerman’s work features many of the lesser known tales from the ARABIAN NIGHTS both comic and serious. Authentic Arabic music as well as Middle Eastern dance and movement help to create the rich cultural backdrop of ancient Baghdad. The play reminds us of the connection between the ancient world of the NIGHTS and our own– offering the hope that is inherent in the stories we create together.
