🎭🌹 Made these Hadestown cookies for my daughter Phoenix and the entire cast and crew on opening night! Phoenix is playing Persephone, and watching these young performers grapple with this deeply political masterpiece has been incredible.
Hadestown isn't just a retelling of an ancient myth - it's a mirror held up to our world right now. "Why do we build the wall?" asks one of the most haunting questions of our time. The show forces us to confront how walls divide us, how we trade freedom for the illusion of security, and how those in power exploit fear to keep us apart. In a moment when literal walls are being built and communities are being torn apart, this story hits different.
"It's a sad song but we sing it anyway" - because we have to keep telling these stories, keep asking these questions, keep hoping that maybe this time, we'll choose differently. Art like this reminds us why theatre matters, especially now.
So proud of Phoenix and this brave cast for bringing this urgent, necessary show to life. Two more performances - tonight and tomorrow. Come witness why we keep singing. ✨
