This weekend!!!! The Galva Drama Club will perform the musical The Lightning Thief at Galva Jr/Sr High School on March 20th & 21st. Based on Rick Riordan's best selling series, The Lightning Thief Musical tells the story of Percy Jackson. 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.

The Lightning Thief is an exciting and rollicking dramatic-comedy appropriate for all ages. Tickets are $10 and available at the door. Doors open at 7 pm and the show begins at 7:30.
