When Percy Jackson discovers he’s the son of Poseidon, he’s thrust into a world of gods, monsters, and epic quests. With his friends Annabeth and Grover, Percy must journey across the country to find Zeus’s stolen lightning bolt and save the world. Full of humor, heart, and heroic rock songs, this show will leave audiences cheering for the demigods among us.
