District 202 high school student musicians and performers will get your hearts leaping and toes tapping as they present a slate of spring musicals this March and April.

Hadestown is a modern, folk-jazz retelling of the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. Guided by the narrator Hermes, the story follows two young lovers navigating poverty, hope, and sacrifice, while also exploring the complicated relationship between Hades and Persephone, rulers of the Underworld. At its core, this is a story about love—and the courage it takes to choose hope in a challenging world.

The gates to Arendelle are open. In the beautiful mountainous kingdom of Arendelle, Princesses Anna and Elsa grow up sheltered inside their castle, isolated from the world and increasingly distant from each other. When Elsa is crowned queen, the magical powers she’s desperately tried to conceal from her sister take control, and she flees into the mountains. As a ferocious winter descends on Arendelle, Anna sets off on an epic journey to find Elsa and bring her home – with the help of hardworking ice harvester Kristoff, his loyal reindeer Sven, and a happy-go-lucky snowman named Olaf.
Full of magic, humor, and a stunning musical score, “Frozen” is a powerful tale of sisterhood, acceptance, and finding the real meaning of true love.
