About This Opportunity

A real role in a real production.

The Hadestown Teen Production Camp cast is set, but we have six Worker spots open and we want to fill them with students who are ready to commit. The Workers Ensemble is not a background role. In Hadestown, the Workers are the soul of the show. They are the chorus, the muscle, the heartbeat of Hadestown itself, and every moment they are onstage matters.

These spots are first come, first served. Students who sign up will be placed directly as Workers in the production alongside an already-cast company. You will rehearse the same schedule, perform all eight shows, and be a full member of this company from day one.

We encourage students who have a background in musical theater and who are comfortable with singing, movement, and dance. Hadestown is a vocally and physically demanding show. That said, this is an open enrollment opportunity. No audition is required to claim your spot.


What to Expect

Train. Collaborate. Perform.

01
Train

Work with director and choreographer Amber Coughlin, vocal director Julie Strebler, and guest artists across five weeks of rehearsal. Instruction runs throughout the entire program, not just at the start.

02
Collaborate

You are joining a company that is already building something together. Workers are essential to how this show functions, and you will be integrated into the cast from the first rehearsal.

03
Perform

Eight performances across two full weekends in a cabaret-style venue built around the world of the show. Reserved seating, full tech, and a real run. This is the real thing.


How Enrollment Works

No audition. Just three steps.

1
Claim Your Spot

Register through the enrollment link. Spots are first come, first served and capped at six. Once you register, your spot is held while you complete the next step.

2
Submit a Short Video

After registering, you will be contacted with instructions to submit a short video of yourself singing. This is not a competitive audition. It is used by our vocal director for placement within the Workers Ensemble so we can set you up for success from day one.

3
Show Up Ready to Work

Rehearsals begin July 6. Come prepared to learn, move, and be part of a company. Everything you need to know will be shared with you before the first day.

A Note on the Video

The video submission is for vocal placement only. It does not determine whether you are in the show. Once you have claimed a spot and paid your deposit, your place in the company is secure.
