Main Stage
Our traditional main stage “Bay Street Players” presents:
The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical
Directed by Emma Register
As the half-blood son of a Greek god, Percy Jackson has newly-discovered powers he can’t control, a destiny he doesn’t want, and a mythology textbook’s worth of monsters on his trail. When Zeus’s master lightning bolt is stolen and Percy becomes the prime suspect, he has to find and return the bolt to prove his innocence and prevent a war between the gods. But to succeed on his quest, Percy will have to do more than catch the thief. He must travel to the Underworld and back; solve the riddle of the Oracle, which warns him of betrayal by a friend; and come to terms with the father who abandoned him. Adapted from the best-selling book The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan and featuring a thrilling original rock score, The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical is an action-packed mythical adventure “worthy of the gods” (Tip me Out New York).
THE LIGHTNING THIEF is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals. www.concordtheatricals.com
Content Warnings: Mature and ableist language, violence, death, alcohol consumption, possible use of strobe lights. If you have questions regarding the lighting used, please contact our Box Office.
Each year we offer a field trip performance to one of our productions for students, and this year it is for The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical. Field Trip performance on Tuesday, March 24, 2026 at 11am.

Join Dorothy and her loyal companion Toto as they “Follow the Yellow Brick Road” through the Land of Oz, determined to reach the Emerald City, where the great and powerful Wizard of Oz will help them get home. Of course, along the way, Dorothy encounters witches (both good and bad), Munchkins, talking trees and winged monkeys. But most importantly, she befriends three unique characters: a Scarecrow with no brain, a Tin Man with no heart, and a Lion with no “nerve.”
Their journey to happiness – and self-awareness – is a glowing testament to friendship, understanding and hope in a world filled with both beauty and ugliness.
