A musical being staged by Knoch High School next weekend tells a story set in Greek mythology about love, loss and redemption.

“Hadestown: Teen Edition” weaves together the ancient myths of Orpheus and Eurydice, and Hades and Persephone, into a powerful tale that resonates with modern themes. Set against a backdrop of a postapocalyptic steam-punk landscape, this innovative show combines elements of American folk, jazz and blues music, according to a description from Knoch.

Narrated by Hermes, the Messenger God (Ava West), the plot follows Orpheus (Jacob Scanlon), a hopeful young musician, who embarks on a perilous journey to the underworld to rescue his beloved Eurydice (Lindsey Wise) after she is lured there by the promise of security by its ruler, Hades (Jacob Ruediger). In the underworld, Eurydice faces the harsh realities of Hadestown, a factory where souls toil endlessly, forgotten by the world above.

Meanwhile, the strained relationship between Hades and his wife Persephone (Remmy Kovac) mirrors the cycles of decay and growth, influencing the fates of those below and above.

The show will be staged at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Feb. 27 and 28; and at 2 p.m. Sunday, March 1, at Knoch High School, 345 Knoch Road in Jefferson Township. For tickets or more information, visit knochsd.org.
