Director's Note

Percy Jackson and the Olympians is a very popular book series, movie, and now television series.  And its popularity is known all over the country, particularly with the younger generation, I myself have even enjoyed the books and now the TV series, when we first started the process working on The Lightning Thief the kids and their level of excitement for the story, the characters and the world that they live in definitely carried over into our team, and together we have created a fun and energetic experience not just for the kids that are performing but for the friends, family and the rest of the audience that gets to experience this fun show.  Thank you all so much for coming to support these kids and their hard work, we hope you enjoy every minute of this fun show!

Special Thanks!
