Hadestown is a jazz-infused musical based on the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, set in a post-apocalyptic world where a young couple's love story intersects with the ancient relationship of Hades and Persephone. When Eurydice, facing hardship and poverty, is tempted by Hades' offer of security and wealth in the industrial underworld, she signs a contract that binds her there. Heartbroken, Orpheus embarks on a journey to rescue her, a quest that tests his belief in love and hope against the encroaching doubt and despair, with the Fates and the world of the living and the dead watching.

A note about ticketing fees:
Most events will have a small ticketing fee on top of the ticket price. Ticketing services for small venues offer ticketing for free to us, and these fees cover their costs, and the costs of taking credit cards. Most ticket fees are less than $2.50 per ticket. While we understand that ticketing fees can be frustrating, unlike the big "master ticketing" company we won't name here, these fees aren't used to make additional profit, they are what allows us to offer professional ticket services for our shows.
We partner with the company Ludus*, which charges 80 cents, plus 5%. The 5% mostly ends up covering the credit card processing fee that Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express charge to take their cards. Ludus in turn provides us with 24/7 customer support, and a reliable program for ticketing, as well as free ticketing for free events, which allows us to ensure we aren't over capacity for those events.
We also include a 50 cent "seat maintenance fee", which is specifically set aside to help with maintenance of the seats in our spaces. For many of our performances, this is the only source of money from a show to the facility to help cover the wear and tear of the event, as show revenue goes to the presenting organization.
We appreciate your understanding.
*Events hosted by other groups may have different ticketing companies, different fees, and different policies.
