Still Creating, Still Storytelling
While Percy must fight off minotaurs, math teachers, and monsters, he doesn’t have to deal with the coronavirus, but our cast does! It has impacted the way we have run our rehearsal process and the production itself.
Cast Spotlight
Working in a show with sophomores, juniors, and seniors has built a great sense of community. Throughout the production preparation, we continue to lean on each other.
Bring on the Monsters!
Gods, furies, demi-gods, and minotaurs all living together is quite the recipe for trouble. They battle every chance that they get. Our task is to bring the dangerous monsters of Percy’s life to our stage.
The Text Behind the Characters
Our cast has talked about our love for reading as kids and how that has played into us being storytellers on this stage. For me, it was the Percy Jackson series. Some other obsessions from the cast included Harry Potter, John Green Books, and the Maze Runner.
