The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical
press release: The Greek gods are real, and they’re ruining Percy Jackson’s life.

Normal is a myth when you’re a demigod.

Cast quotes:
“Overall, this production has been a wonderful experience! The directing team is very helpful and supportive, and the cast is a tight knit group that works well together. Being back in the theater and on stage on a regular basis has been a great experience for me personally, and I cannot wait to see what comes next!” Henry Maes (Percy Jackson)
“It’s exciting to work on a show in person again. This show is especially exciting because of the magical and otherworldly elements we get to bring to life onstage” - Ayanna Vandewalle (Annabeth)
“I enjoy performing a musical again after so long away from it. I find theatre to be such a positive outlet for me and so rewarding. The whole cast is so positive about the show and I’m very happy to have so many people see the wonderful final product.” - Ryan Gierhart (Grover)
