Anaïs Mitchell’s “Hadestown: Teen Edition,” from Millennium Repertory Company’s Teen Actors Guild, opens Friday, Aug. 8, at the Manchester Arts Center.

It’s a Greek myth about love, choices, and finding hope in hard times, told in a fresh and modern way. The music mixes folk, blues, jazz, and pop. It’s your chance to see some amazing local talent in this Broadway sensation.
