Based on the bestselling novel by Rick Riordan, this electrifying musical brings The Lightning Thief to life in a thrilling, one-act adaptation perfect for young audiences.
Percy Jackson is a 12-year-old with a knack for getting into trouble—until he discovers he’s actually a demigod, the son of Poseidon. When Zeus’s lightning bolt goes missing, Percy has just ten days to find it and restore peace to Mount Olympus. Along the way, he battles monsters, navigates mythological challenges, and discovers the true meaning of courage, friendship, and identity.
With a high-energy rock score and fast-paced storytelling, this show is a dynamic introduction to Greek mythology and a great companion to classroom reading.
CURRICULUM CONNECTIONS: Literature adaptation, Greek mythology, friendship, identity, teamwork, and the hero’s journey.
