HCR 9 Vermont House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

House concurrent resolution honoring the Vermonters who created the Tony Award-winning musical Hadestown and the Vermont theatrical youth ensembles now staging exhilarating teen performances

This House Concurrent Resolution (HCR 9) formally honors Vermonters involved in creating the Tony Award-winning musical *Hadestown* and Vermont youth theater groups performing teen versions of the show. It specifically recognizes creators like Anaïs Mitchell (Middlebury College alum), Michael Chorney, and Ben T. Matchstick, along with Vermont youth ensembles including Peoples Academy, Very Merry Theatre, and U-32/Montpelier High School productions supported by *Hadestown* creators. The resolution has no legal effect - it is purely ceremonial, celebrating their artistic achievements and community impact without enacting new policy. It directs the Secretary of State to send copies to the honorees.

MINOR

The changes are entirely formatting and layout differences between two versions of the same adopted House Concurrent Resolution 9. The official version uses a different header format (State of Vermont / House of Representatives) and removes page numbers, internal reference codes, and page breaks. The substantive content of the resolution is identical in both versions.

TECHNICAL

Header changed from 'R-14 Page 1 of 2 / 2025' format to 'State of Vermont / House of Representatives' official format

Page numbers, VT LEG reference number (#382030 v.1), and page break markers were removed

Line wrapping and spacing adjusted throughout; the title was moved into the official header block rather than appearing as a separate line
