Director's Notes

Welcome to our production of "The Lightning Thief: The Musical"! We are thrilled to have you join us for this electrifying journey through the pages of Rick Riordan's beloved novel.  "The Lightning Thief" is a tale of epic proportions, blending Greek mythology with modern-day adventure in a way that is both captivating and relatable. As we bring this story to life on stage, our talented cast and crew have poured their hearts and souls into every moment, creating a theatrical experience that is sure to leave you spellbound.

Throughout the production, you will encounter a cast of characters who are as dynamic and diverse as the gods themselves. From Percy Jackson, our brave and spirited protagonist, to the mischievous Hermes and the formidable Hades, each character brings their own unique energy to the stage, adding depth and dimension to the story.

As you watch the story unfold, I encourage you to not only enjoy the spectacle of the music and choreography but also to connect with the underlying themes of friendship, loyalty, and self-discovery. At its core, "The Lightning Thief" is a story about finding strength in the face of adversity and embracing the hero within.

I am immensely proud of the dedication and passion that our cast and crews have poured into this production, and I am grateful for the support of our creative team and supporters who have helped bring this vision to life.

Thank you for joining us on this mythic journey, and I hope you enjoy the adventure!

Warmly,

Brian R. Engelmeyer
