Percy Jackson The Lightning Thief

CHS Performing Arts joins forces for electric musical

The audience of the Central High School auditorium is filled with young students as actors and musicians tell the story of Percy Jackson, the Lightning Thief.

The lights go out. The audience gasps. The spotlight is on the Oracle as she warns Percy about the perils of the quest he is about to undertake.

What the audience doesn't see are the CHS band members, directed by Ed Propst, creating the perfect atmosphere with music. This is the first time in memory that the music, theater, and band teachers and students have teamed up to present a musical.
