     Rainbow Company Youth Theatre, a city of Las Vegas program, presents “The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical” Feb. 28-March 2 and March 7-9.

Showtimes are 7 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, with additional 2 p.m. shows March 1 and March 9.

 

     This 2.25-hour musical adaptation of Rick Riordan's bestseller, "The Lightning Thief," follows teenager Percy Jackson and his friends as they embark on a quest to find Zeus' missing lightning bolt and prevent a war among the gods. Percy, a newly discovered demigod, must grapple with his uncontrolled powers, unwanted destiny and a slew of mythological monsters on his journey to clear his name and save the world. The music and lyrics are by Rob Rokicki and the show is directed by Victoria Whitaker.

 

     Individual show tickets, priced at $10 each, are available online now at https://ci.ovationtix.com/35056/production/1209165 [ https://ci.ovationtix.com/35056/production/1209165?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ]. Same-day ticket sales available at the theatre box office are limited to cash-only sales. There are no age restrictions for the audience; however there may be elements of magic and monsters that may be slightly scary for younger children.

 

     Levi Thomas, 14, a student at the Las Vegas Academy of the Arts, will play the role of Percy Jackson; this is his first Rainbow Company show. Alina Castor, 15, from Palo Verde High School, will play Annabeth Chase. Although not a stranger to performing on stage, this will be her first Rainbow Company show. Rainbow Company veteran Anjeal Moten, 18, a student at Las Vegas High School, will fill the role of Grover Underwood. Braylon Messer, a 15-year-old student as Las Vegas Academy of the Arts, will play Luke in his first Rainbow Company show.

 

     This is Whitaker’s directing debut with Rainbow Company, following two years of leading its educational programs. Born and raised in Las Vegas, she has been immersed in theatre all her life. She has a master’s degree in Theatre Arts and Arts Administration, and worked in the education department for the Utah Shakespeare Festival while getting her degrees.

The ensemble members work in all aspects of each production – costumes, makeup, sets, lights, sound and backstage crew – under the tutelage of professional directors and designers.
