As a son of Poseidon, Percy Jackson has newly discovered powers he can't control, monsters on his trail, and is on a quest to find Zeus' lightning bolt to prevent a war between the Greek gods. Based on the best-selling Disney-Hyperion novel by Rick Riordan and featuring a thrilling original rock score, THE LIGHTNING THIEF: THE PERCY JACKSON MUSICAL is an action-packed theatrical adventure that has been celebrated by audiences and critics alike.
Parson's Nose Theater (PNT), Pasadena's critically acclaimed professional, classical comedy theater company, continues their 2018-19 season with Carlo Goldoni's farce, The Servant of Two Masters. This 75-minute version was adapted by and features PNT Artistic Director, Lance Davis.
Audiences have until next Sunday - December 23, to be precise - to experience what is likely to become a Music City holiday tradition: Peter Pan and Tinker Bell: A Pirate's Christmas at Tennessee Performing Arts Center's James K. Polk Theatre. A somewhat Americanized version of a peculiarly British seasonal entertainment, aka "panto," Peter Pan and Tinker Bell is a winning blend of theater, Christmas pageant, vaudeville and British music hall all rolled into one bright, shiny, kind of weird, but altogether fun and rather unique holiday-themed package that's a welcome addition to yuletide revelry.
The upcoming national tour of THE LIGHTNING THIEF: THE PERCY JACKSON MUSICAL -the musical adaption of the New York Times best-selling novel written by Rick Riordan, is getting ready to launch from Chicago next month! Check out photos of the cast in rehearsals below!
You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen. But how well do you really know Rudolph?
Sure, if you're like me, you remember watching the stop-motion animated special on television as a kid. And surely you've heard Gene Autry's version of the song time and time again. But seeing the animated musical version come to life onstage at The Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts sheds a new light on this age-old tale about misfit toys, castaway elves, and a red-nosed outcast.

Visionary scratch DJ and producer Kid Koala (aka Eric San) shares the visuals for latest single “All For You” featuring Trixie Whitley today with Billboard Magazine. The track, premiered last month via BrooklynVegan, comes off San and Whitley's much-anticipated collaborative album Music To Draw To: Io, an eighteen track collection of sprawling, transportive music slated for release on January 25, 2019 on Arts & Crafts and available for pre-order now. About the new video, Eric comments: “Karina Bleau uses a combination of light, chemicals and layered glass in her visual making process. I am in awe of how she's able to create these marvellous interstellar scenes with her seemingly 'low tech' set up. What impresses me most about her work is it's inherent emotionality and Karina's wonderful sense of timing. She knows her materials well enough that she can start and evolve these reactions to synchronize with the music. It is a very captivating thing to witness.”

Lythgoe Family Panto created GiveKidsPanto, a non-profit educational program, serving over 6,000 Title 1 students across America annually. For many of these students, this is their first opportunity to see live theater. GiveKidsPanto raises funds, which allows each LFP production across the country to add a student matinee to their performance schedule. The funds raised through GiveKidsPanto go to facilitate the student's bus transportation to and from the theater as well as buy the tickets to the performances. Last year at the Pasadena Civic alone, over 2,000 students from the Pasadena and Greater Los Angeles area schools were brought in to see a performance of Beauty and the Beast: A Christmas Rose.
