AUDITIONS FOR THE LIGHTNING THIEF
The Un-Common Theatre Company is thrilled to announce auditions for our Spring Production of The Lightning Thief.
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. But to succeed on his quest, Percy will have to do more than catch the thief. He must travel to the Underworld and back; solve the riddle of the Oracle, which warns him of betrayal by a friend; and come to terms with the father who abandoned him.
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”.

For all roles, please prepare 16-32 bars of a song either from The Lightning Thief or in the style of The Lightning Thief. Please bring sheet music in the key in which you are singing for our accompanist. Please be sure it is full piano accompaniment and not just a melody line. Please, no a cappella or backing tracks.
Rehearsals are scheduled on Sunday afternoons from 1:00-4:00 pm and Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6:30-9:00 pm in Foxboro and Mansfield. Not all cast members will be required to be at all rehearsals. A rehearsal schedule will be made once the show is cast. Extra nights may be added as the show nears production week. All conflicts must be listed on the audition form and will be taken into account during casting.
The production will take place March 27-29, 2026.
Production Fee: $400 for one family member, and $350 for additional family members. This will be due at the first rehearsal. The production fees include a show t-shirt, professional pictures for downloading, and entrance for the cast member to the opening night party and the Sunday cast party.
Like most everything in the past few years, our expenses have gone up, as such, so have our cast fees. However, we at Un-Common believe that theatre should always be accessible. As such, we do provide scholarships. If this is the one thing keeping your child from participating, please just reach out to the show producers, no questions asked.
