As the half-blood son of a Greek god, Percy Jackson has newly-discovered powers he can’t control, a destiny he doesn’t want, and a mythology textbook’s worth of monsters on his trail. When Zeus”s master lightning bolt is stolen and Percy becomes the prime suspect, he has to find and return the bolt to prove his innocence and prevent a war between the gods. But to succeed on his quest, Percy will have to do more than catch the thief. He must travel to the Underworld and back; solve the riddle of the Oracle, which warns him of betrayal by a friend; and come to terms with the father who abandoned him. Adapted from the best-selling book The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan and featuring a thrilling original rock score, The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical is an action-packed mythical adventure “worthy of the gods” (Time Out New York).

During this production class, students will be actively engaged in learning character development, acting skills, dance techniques, and will receive vocal instruction.

Attending rehearsals is essential to the theatre process. We ask that each student turn in a conflict calendar prior to casting. We know that sometimes things can come up like unforeseen illness or emergencies, so we ask that families notify the directors if you must miss rehearsal. More than two unexcused absences, or students who neglect to regularly attend rehearsals may lead to reduced stage time or role reassignment.  Students must be available and may not miss tech week and performances (unless approved by the directors) as these dates are required. Please note that fees are non-refundable if you withdraw or are dismissed from the production.
