About the Show
As the half-blood son of a Greek god, Percy Jackson has newly-discovered powers he can't control, a destiny he doesn't want, and a mythology textbook's worth of monsters on his trail. When Zeus's master lightning bolt is stolen and Percy becomes the prime suspect, he has to find and return the bolt to prove his innocence and prevent a war between the gods. But to succeed on his quest, Percy will have to do more than catch the thief. He must travel to the Underworld and back; solve the riddle of the Oracle, which warns him of betrayal by a friend; and come to terms with the father who abandoned him. Adapted from the best-selling book The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan and featuring a thrilling original rock score, The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical is an action-packed mythical adventure "worthy of the gods" (Time Out New York).
Lyceum Studio, a program of Lyceum Hall Center for the Arts, is committed to providing performing arts education and a safe place for exploration, self-discovery, and creativity.
Funding has been made possible in part by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts and the Burlington County Board of County Commissioners through a county arts grant.

There may be times when your young performer is not needed at rehearsal or is called for only part of a rehearsal. It is extremely important to read the schedule each week to know when you are required at rehearsal. If you have any Wednesday or Sunday conflicts, please note them on the registration form so that we can do our best to work around conflicts.
