Anaïs Mitchell is a singer-songwriter, playwright, and the creator of Hadestown — the Broadway musical that has won eight Tony Awards and is now the 40th longest-running show in Broadway history.

In this interview, Junior Reporter Paloma sits down with her to talk about discovering music, turning Greek mythology into a Broadway hit, and what she'd tell any kid who wants to start writing songs or theatre today.

Anaïs is also the narrator of our Ani DiFranco bedtime story.

Musician and activist Ani DiFranco started her own record label at 19, refusing to let others control her art. She built a career on her own terms, creating music that spoke truth about identity, politics, and love. By choosing to blaze her own path, Ani has built a successful musical career and helped people of different identities feel seen and embraced.
