Testimonials from our 2026 Musical Theatre Intensive Hadestown: Teen Edition

Hayley K. – Cast Member

“The passion and dedication from each and every one of the staff made MYTA’s ‘Hadestown’ the perfect balance between fun and challenging. Even when inevitable stress came up, everyone supported each other and everything was so well prepared the quality never faltered. It has easily been one of my favourite theatre experiences, and I will always remember the joy I got out of it.”

Michelle H. – Parent

“As one of the youngest cast members in Hadestown, Amelie joined MYTA not knowing anyone, yet immediately felt welcomed, supported and respected. The positive, inclusive culture created by the co-founders clearly flows through the entire company. It was wonderful to see Amelie encouraged to stretch herself, take on challenges and grow in confidence. What an impressive first production for MYTA!”
