This intriguing and beautiful folk opera 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 mission of Dirigo Theater Company is to create  and foster an environment that is  inclusive, diverse and accessible to the greater community. DTC is dedicated to “Leading The Way” to producing high quality productions that are thoughtful, engaging, challenging and  enriching for  the community through the process of mentorship and educational development for the individual performer, designer, and creative.

“Dirigo” is Latin for “I Lead” and the concept for this theatre company is to become leading theatre program for people of all ages, ethnicities and backgrounds. Growth can be found for the individual through theatre and our focus is based in the creative process! With an Education Department who’s focus is welcoming beginners, strengthening the skills and techniques of those who have been on stage before, and encouraging the community to embrace all aspects of theatre- we are so excited to be here and make Wisconsin our home!
