"The Lightning Thief, The Percy Jackson" Musical Seeks Teens

"Teen Actors Sought for 'The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical.'" Please see the attachment for details. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Based on the beloved novel by Rick Riordan, The Lightning Thief tells the story of Percy Jackson, son of Greek god Poseidon, as he sets out on a hero’s journey of self-discovery, grappling with monsters and mysterious mayhem along the way. The Lightning Thief is a story about identity, family, and community. Percy’s experience resonates across cultures! As the playwright, Joe Tracz, says, “[T]he characters in The Lightning Thief are gods and heroes - and gods and heroes can look like any of us.” Casting will reflect that truth. We are casting a group of actors ranging in age from 12 to mature adult, reflecting our community. All ensemble roles are open to include different shapes, abilities, ethnicities, and identities. Vocally, principal roles may require mature voices. The original production featured seven actors playing an entire Greek pantheon of characters; we will cast more, including puppeteers. Additional info: The Lightning Thief will involve musical staging and stage combat with and without weaponry! At the audition, you will be asked to show movements based on an exploration of Greek mythological creatures that appear in the show: Centaur, Cyclops, Minotaur, Furies, Gorgons, Chimera, Sphinx, and Cerberus. Please dress for movement and wear closed-toed shoes. If you are interested please apply.
