The Lightning Thief shines starting today
Truckee Community Theater this weekend will debut its annual teen production, “The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical,” featuring students in grades 7 through 12.
According to Mike English, who sits on the theater’s board of directors, the show “features a brilliant local teenage cast and a live rock score.”
Percy Jackson — the son of Poseidon — has newly discovered powers he can’t control, monsters on his trail and is on a quest to find Zeus’ lightning bolt to prevent a war between the Greek gods, English said.
“It’s an action-packed, mythical adventure for the whole family,” English said.
According to English, the show will be directed by Carrie Haines, and choreographed by Delana Ryan. Elise VanDyne is offering musical direction.
