THE LIGHTNING THIEF
Book by Joe Tracz

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. 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” (Time Out New York).

Book & Lyrics by Victoria & Elizabeth Kann
Music & Lyrics by John Gregor
Based on the popular book by Victoria Kann and Elizabeth Kann, this is the tale of Pinkalicious, who can’t stop eating pink cupcakes despite warnings from her parents. Her pink indulgence lands her at the doctor’s office with Pinkititis, an affliction that turns her pink from head to toe–a dream come true for this pink-loving enthusiast. Alas Pinkalicious needs a way out of her pink predicament, and joined by her family they find unity and appreciation in the quirks that define us all.

Program Description
Playhouse Stage Company is thrilled to present two productions at the Historic Cohoes Music Hall for school time performances in the 2022-2023 school year! Intended for Elementary and Middle School audiences, these educational musicals provide a theatrical experience in the 4th oldest operating music hall in the country, while exposing students to the thrill of a live performance. We also provide groups a show specific curriculum based activity packet – with both pre and post show discussions to prepare your students for a fun and educational experience!
One month before the performance, we will provide your educators with an activity packet designed to engage students in the creative process behind bringing a show to life on stage and introduce students to the core themes of the productions!
Introducing students to live theatre gives them an important audience experience, helping them to learn the proper etiquette for live performances and public presentations. It also introduces them to a hobby and craft they may not have had access to previously. The arts teach collaboration, creative problem solving and self-expression, and our program gives students a taste of what is possible in the arts.
