Trip: Hadestown Show at Providence Performing Arts Center

Posted on February 28, 2023 by Groton

Saturday, March 25th 

Departing at Noon

 

This acclaimed new off Broadway show is a love story for today… and always. HADESTOWN intertwines two mythic tales – that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone – as it invites you on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Mitchell’s beguiling melodies and Chavkin’s poetic imagination pit industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love.

Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors, dancers and singers, HADESTOWN is a haunting and hopeful theatrical experience that grabs you and never lets go.

​​​​​​​$47 per resident/ $57 for non resident. Your cost includes
our Thrive 55+ bus transport, driver and ticket/admission.
