Inspire School of Arts & Sciences presents The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical, a story about identity, family, and community. Based on the beloved novel by Rick Riordan, The Lightning Thief tells the story of teenager Percy Jackson, son of Greek god Poseidon, as he sets out on a hero’s journey of self-discovery, grappling with monsters and mysterious mayhem along the way to find Zeus’ missing lightning bolt, and prevent war among the gods. Percy’s experience is one that resonates across cultures and our casting reflects that truth. Performers ranging in age from 10-18 reflecting the youth of our local community. Roles have been cast openly to include different shapes, abilities, ethnicities, and identities. As the playwright, Joe Tracz, says, “The characters in The Lightning Thief are gods and heroes – and gods and heroes can look like any of us.”
