The Lightning Thief follows the story of Percy Jackson, a teenager who discovers he is a demigod, the son of Poseidon. When Zeus’s lightning bolt is stolen and Percy becomes the prime suspect, he embarks on a quest with his friends Annabeth Chase and Grover to find the real thief and prevent a catastrophic war among the gods. Along the way, Percy battles mythological creatures, uncovers his true identity, and learns the importance of friendship.

PLEASE DONATE: OMTI’s next event is a month-long fundraising campaign leading up to a Virtual Gala June 1st. We have a goal of raising $25,000 to support our students and the mission of OMTI. Every dollar donated goes directly toward providing exceptional performing arts education and opportunities to the talented young artists. The campaign will conclude on June Ist with a special Virtual Gala - a live-streamed event to celebrate all we've accomplished. During the gala, you'll see a roundup of the month's highlights, hear inspiring stories from our students, watch ad spots from our generous sponsors, and get a look at what's ahead for OMTI. We're so excited to share this journey with you and show how your support is helping us build a bright and creative future.
