Hadestown
Hadestown is a musical production staged by Fairfax High School (City of Fairfax Schools).
As of early April 2025, the production was being promoted ahead of its opening, with performances beginning April 25, 2025. The show was notable for incorporating distinctive technical elements new to Fairfax High School productions, including swinging lights over the stage. The production ran through the end of the school year and was acknowledged at both the May and June 2025 School Board meetings.
Ms. Bartelme noted at the May 5, 2025 meeting that it was a record seller for a play at Fairfax. The production was confirmed to have concluded by the June 3, 2025 Student Representative Report, which listed it among end-of-year activities at Fairfax High School.
