When Zeus's master lightning bolt is stolen and Percy becomes the prime suspect, he has to find and return the bolt to prove his innocence and prevent a war between the gods. But to succeed on his quest, Percy will have to do more than catch the thief. He must travel to the Underworld and back, solve the riddle of the Oracle, and come to terms with the father who abandoned him. Adapted from the best-selling book The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan and featuring a thrilling original rock score, The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical is an action-packed mythical adventure "worthy of the gods" (Time Out New York). ---- Cast / Click here for bios: Direction/Choreography - Ro GavinMusic Direction - Breanne BatteyStage Management - Sarah CollingeAssistant Stage Management - Kathryn Daughton Scenic Design - Meghan Flynn Costume Design - Olivia MartinsonLighting Design - Theodore RaggePuppetry Design - Ro GavinFight Choreography for “Put You in Your Place” - Jennifer “Jenry” Towle About RGC Theatre:After 12 years on stage and behind the scenes for a variety of New England theatre companies, Founder and Executive Director Ro Gavin took their experience and created Ro Gavin Collaborative Theatre as a new outlet for arts in New Hampshire with focus on presenting unconstrained and inclusive theatre.
