Teens Take the Journey to ‘Hadestown’ and Return with These Reviews

The Tony Award-winning musical “Hadestown” looked to be one of the highlights of this season for PNC Broadway in Louisville — so Arts Angle Vantage invited a group of teens to journey to the Kentucky Center for the Arts and see the opening night performance. They also got experience in reviewing theater. See links to their reviews below.

Our youth-centered arts journalism program is grateful to PNC Broadway in Louisville and notably appreciative of LEO Weekly and Editor Erica Rucker for helping us elevate youth voices and the arts through practicing the values of collaborative journalism.
