Enjoy our recap of The Lightning Thief! ⚡

What an incredible group of students—each bringing their own talent, personality, and creative choices to the process while coming together to build something uniquely theirs.

Throughout the experience, we explored the idea that prophecies may point the way—but our choices write the story. These dedicated performers embraced that message through their characters, their teamwork, and the bold choices they made both on and off the stage.

Summer is still in full swing, but now is also the perfect time to explore our fall classes, productions, and performance programs.
Spaces are beginning to fill, so be sure to register soon!

Congratulations once again to everyone who made this show such a memorable experience—from our amazing creative and instructional team to the hardworking students who brought the story to life.

Let’s keep Building Characters together! ⚡🎭
