THE LIGHTNING THIEF to be Presented by The Grand Prairie Arts Council

Get ready for a high-energy, mythological thrill ride with the Grand Prairie Arts Council's production of The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical. With a book by Joe Tracz and music and lyrics by Rob Rokicki, this electrifying rock musical-based on the best-selling novel by Rick Riordan-is directed by Eric Criner and brings Percy Jackson's epic journey to life on stage. The show runs June 13th through June 22nd at the historic Uptown Theater.

When Percy Jackson (Jaxon Anderson) discovers he's a demigod-the son of Poseidon-his world is turned upside down. With monsters on his tail, a stolen lightning bolt to recover, and the fate of the world at stake, Percy and his friends Annabeth (Yleana Dara) and Grover (Trey Cardona) embark on an unforgettable quest to prevent a war among the gods.

This action-packed, family-friendly musical is bursting with humor, heart, and a score as powerful as a thunderbolt from Zeus himself. Fans of the books-and newcomers alike-will be swept away by the story of a boy discovering who he truly is and how to stand up for what matters.
