The resolution honors the Vermonters involved in the creation of the Tony Award-winning musical "Hadestown," which was originally developed by Anas Mitchell shortly after her graduation from Middlebury College in 2004. The musical, a modern adaptation of the Greek myth of Orpheus, premiered in Barre in 2006 and underwent significant revisions before its Broadway debut in 2019, where it received eight Tony Awards. The resolution also highlights the contributions of various Vermont artists, including Michael Chorney and Ben T. Matchstick, as well as the ongoing involvement of Robinson Morse as a performing musician.

Additionally, the resolution recognizes the collaborative efforts of Montpelier High School and U-32 Middle and High School in staging a teen version of "Hadestown" in 2024-2025, under the leadership of theater directors Maren Langdon Spillane and Erin Galligan-Baldwin, with guidance from Anas Mitchell and Ben T. Matchstick. The General Assembly expresses its appreciation for the creative talents of these individuals and the impact of their work on the local community, directing the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to Maren Langdon Spillane and Montpelier High School.
