Hunt Family Theatre - Village Theatre's First Stage

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 –&nbsp;Hadestown&nbsp;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.

 effort to promote all forms of art, Bob said. “It offers a chance for 
folks to gather and play music as well as develop new musical 
friendships. We try to foster our open mics as an opportunity for 
beginners, intermediates, as well as advanced performers to play. Young 
and old and all in between are welcome. “

Village Theatre

In 1902 New York, anything seemed possible. RAGTIME&nbsp;is a uniquely compelling exploration of America at the turn of the 20th century, weaving together three unforgettable stories: a daring Harlem pianist, a determined Jewish immigrant, and an affluent society woman. Each navigates a changing world, united by courage, compassion, and belief in the promise of the future.&nbsp; 
With its Tony Award-winning score blending ragtime, blues, jazz, and show tunes,&nbsp;RAGTIME&nbsp;has been hailed by&nbsp;TIME Magazine&nbsp;as “a triumph for the stage,” and by the&nbsp;International Herald Tribune&nbsp;as “the best musical in twenty years.”&nbsp; 
In a production marking our nation’s 250th birthday, this beloved epic musical bursts onto the Village stage, painting a vivid portrait of the people who built this country with hope for a brighter tomorrow.
