Text of introduction by Joseph Planta:
I am Planta: On the Line, in Vancouver, British Columbia, at TheCommentary.ca.
Opening tonight at the Norman and Annette Rothstein Theatre at the Jewish Community Centre, 950 West 41st Avenue, is a new production The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical. The show’s director Mark Carter joins me now to preview the show, which is based on the bestselling novel by Rick Riordan. The show follows the story of Percy Jackson, a half-blood son of a Greek god, who discovers he has extraordinary powers he cannot control. I’ll ask Mark to tell us as much as he’d like about what to expect. The show’s music and lyrics are written by Rob Rokicki, and I’ll ask Mark about what they sound like. It’s a big show, with nine cast members. It’s a production of CTORA Theatre, formerly known as Children’s Theatre of Richmond. Visit www.ctora.ca for tickets and information. The show runs until 28 May 2023. We spoke one week ago. Please welcome to the Planta: On the Line program, Mark Carter; Mr. Carter, good morning.
