The Lightening Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical
This year, CSOPA’s Mainstage cast presents The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical, an adaptation of the beloved children’s book The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan.
Percy Jackson, a young boy with ADHD and Dyslexia, is trying his hardest to be a good kid. Despite his best efforts, it seems like catastrophe follows him wherever he goes. When a monster attacks Percy at school –getting him expelled AGAIN– he learns that he is the son of a Greek god, or as the others call it, a Half-Blood. Nothing is as it seems anymore, not even his best friend, Grover.
