2025-10-19 14:00 - 16:00 | Music Pier, 825 Boardwalk, Ocean City, NJ, 08226, United States
HADESTOWN Presented by the OCTC Junior Company, 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. October 18 at 7:30 p.m. and October 19 at 2:00 p.m. at the Music Pier. All seats $15, general Admission – no assigned seating as this production is being performed with a thrust stage.
