The prophecy is clear: It’s going to be a summer full of epic quests, ancient grudges, and absolutely no chill. Northwest Children’s Theater presents The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical, a live, action-packed theatrical adventure for the whole family. Based on the hit book series by Rick Riordan, this Theater for Young Audiences (TYA) version of the Broadway musical is perfect for ages 6 and up, making this a must-see summer show that families won’t want to miss!

Zeus’s lightning bolt has been stolen and the prime suspect is 12-year-old Percy Jackson. With the Olympian gods on the verge of war, Percy and his friends must face danger, battle mythical beasts, and clear Percy’s name before it’s too late.
