The Shane Lalani Center for the Arts invites audiences on an epic, high-energy adventure with The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical, running May 1st–17th in the Dulcie Theatre, located at 415 E. Lewis Street in Livingston.
When 16-year-old Percy Jackson discovers he’s the half-blood son of Poseidon, he’s thrusted into a world of gods, monsters, and epic quests. With danger at every turn, Percy must embrace his destiny and learn what it truly means to be a hero. Adapted from Rick Riordan’s best-selling novel and featuring an electrifying rock score, The Lightning Thief is a thrilling saga for gods, demigods, and mortals alike. Brought to life with imaginative costumes, bold props, special effects, and stage illusions, this show transforms the Dulcie Theatre into a mythological world, resonating with audiences of all ages.
The production features a cast of 24 local performers, ages 13 to 17, who have spent months bringing this story to life—rehearsing a dynamic score, learning choreography, and mastering stage combat. Accompanied by a rock band featuring members of Meridian, the result is a performance full of heart, humor, and heroic energy.
“The dedication these young artists have brought to this process has been extraordinary,” says Director and Choreographer Andrew Reichert. “They’ve poured themselves into every moment of this show, and it’s something really special. We can’t wait to share the magic with this community.”
Performances run May 1st–17th, with evening shows on Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 pm, and Sunday matinees at 3 pm. A special Thursday performance will also be given on May 14th.
This production is made possible through the generous support of the Livingston Tourism Business Improvement District, Basecamp Supply and Construction, Livingston HealthCare, The Yellowstone Valley Lodge & Grill, and Carol Lalani in Memory of Sal Lalani.
