Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of boarding school – again. And that’s the least of his troubles. Lately, mythological monsters and the gods of Mount Olympus seem to be walking straight out of the pages of Percy’s Greek mythology textbook and into his life. And worse, he’s angered a few of them. Zeus’s master lightning bolt has been stolen – and Percy is the prime suspect. http://www.theatreworksusa.org/

BAND AND CHORALE CONCERT
For those who know the experience that is a Classic Albums Live concert, there is no need for an explanation. For everyone else, this is what you dreamed of when you were listening to your albums, in your room, doors closed and the volume turned up to 11. You wished that someday you could hear and see that one specific album performed, cut for cut, note for note, live. Classic Albums Live concerts do exactly that. Get ready for a breathtakingly accurate rendition of Led Zeppelin’s acclaimed and influential 1969 album “Led Zeppelin II”. Re-live your glory days, or take your kids and show them that back in the day we really knew how to rock.
