Directed by Margo McCready The Greek gods are real and, what’s more, Percy, a 12 year-old boy discovers he is a demigod, the son of Poseidon. Along with fellow demigod Annabeth (the daughter of Athena) and best friend and protector Grover (who happens to be a Satyr), Percy must go on an epic quest to retrieve Zeus’ stolen lightning bolt and prevent war amongst the gods. Dates: April 8th and 9th Fine Arts Recital Hall |

Director’s Note “The Lightning Thief” is a show about kids finding community in people like them. I have loved delving into this story with all of these artists. This mythological twist on what we all go through to feel accepted is the perfect way to encapsulate how I feel about this club as I am about to graduate. As Percy’s mother, Sally, says, “normal is a myth.” I hope you all enjoy this very camp show (pun intended)! |
