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).
The Elmira College Theatre Program provides students production experiences on our two stages, the more intimate black box-style Watson Arena or the 400-seat Gibson Theatre, as well as community-engaged theatre experiences off campus.
Students play pivotal roles in all aspects of production, including performance, sound, lighting, set, and costume design, electrics, crew, and carpentry.
Your passion for performance or production could land you an Elmira College Theatre Scholarship. Learn more about the audition and interview process on the Elmira College Theatre Scholarship page.
