THE LIGHTNING THIEF — CASTING NOTE:
The original production featured seven actors playing an entire Greek pantheon of characters, and doubling was based on stage time and vocal requirements. For our Firebird Theatre main stage production, we will cast as many actors as possible, based on the director's vision of a large ensemble cast.
We will look beyond traditional casting “types” when it comes to the characters’ race, gender and physical ability. Above all, the characters in The Lightning Thief are gods and heroes – and gods and heroes can look like any of us. When non-binary or opposite-gender persons are cast, we will use whichever pronouns they feel most comfortable with, and to change the script pronouns accordingly .

PERCY JACKSON – Son of Poseidon, a good kid with a teenage temper
ANNABETH – Daughter of Athena, smarter than you
