BlackBox Foundation

BlackBox Foundation Presents:

The Lightning Thief (Ages 13–19)

This is an audition-based production. Not all who audition will be cast. Casting is selective and based on the needs of the production. If you are offered a role and you choose to accept it, a $50 registration fee will be due at that time. (See contact info below for registration scholarship information)

Not all cast members will be called to every rehearsal. A detailed rehearsal schedule, including individual call times, will be provided after casting is completed.

Percy Jackson is about to discover that being a half-blood is more dangerous than he ever imagined. Based on the best-selling novel by Rick Riordan and adapted into a thrilling rock musical, The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical follows Percy and his friends on a quest to recover Zeus’s stolen lightning bolt and prevent an all-out war among the gods.

Filled with electrifying songs, humor, and heart, this high-energy adventure celebrates friendship, courage, and finding your place in the world—even when the odds (and the monsters) are against you.

AUDITIONS: Saturday, March 14th 2-4pm

Must schedule an audition time. Additional information about time slots will be sent at a later date.

Please prepare:

• 30 seconds of a song to perform for the production team
• A 20–30 second monologue
• A printed headshot (preferably 4x6). (If not provided, a production staff member will take a photo after your audition.)

Everyone called back is expected to attend the full session.

Callbacks: Sunday, March 15th 2-4pm

Please note: Those auditioning may be asked to learn and perform a short section of a song from the production during either the audition or callback process.

For callbacks please come prepared with the following:

• Close-toed shoes (jazz shoes, dance sneakers, or character shoes preferred)
• Comfortable clothing easy to move in (no skirts or dresses)
• A water bottle

(A complete schedule with individual call times will be sent after casting.)

Other Notes

Cast provides their own costumes unless otherwise noted.

Please bring a water bottle, snack, pencil, jacket, and highlighter to every rehearsal.

Because of limited rehearsal, and the rehearsal schedule being per-group, we will be taking attendance very seriously. 

The registration fee is non-refundable.
