The Lightning Thief Rocks Adventure Theatre this Summer (+ Giveaway)!

Percy Jackson is coming to town for the summer as The Lightning Thief opens at Adventure Theatre this weekend! Kids can see one of their storybook heroes come to life in a dynamic rock musical adaptation of Rick Riordan’s bestselling book. Even more, there’s a chance to win tickets to a performance!

The story follows Percy Jackson, a seemingly ordinary teen who discovers he’s a demigod — then embarks on an epic journey with his friends to find Zeus’ missing lightning bolt and prevent a war among the gods. The show — with rock music, fast-paced action, and lots of laughs — is packed with fun for kids, tweens, and anyone who likes a good adventure, from die-hard Percy Jackson fans to those new to the world of Camp Half-Blood.

The Lightning Thief runs from June 27 – August 17 with performances Friday – Monday. The show is recommended for ages 7 and up — it’s a rock musical that contains flashing lights, stage combat, and preteen/teen angst that could be too much for younger children.

Where: Adventure Theatre | Glen Echo Park, MD
When: June 27 – August 17

Giveaway: Enter to Win Tickets to “Charlotte’s Web” at Adventure Theatre!

See a beloved children’s book come to life on stage this spring!

Charlotte’s Web just opened at Adventure Theatre and runs through May 25. It’s a great time to catch a show at the venue in Glen Echo Park — you can enjoy even more there, like the playground and picnic area, plus the beautiful Dentzel Carousel opening May 3.

Charlotte’s mission to save Wilbur unfolds with the unveiling of her miraculous web, adorned with the proclamation “Some pig.” Thus begins a triumphant crusade, culminating in Wilbur’s salvation and a poignant gesture honoring Charlotte’s legacy. This timeless tale celebrates the power of friendship and the enduring impact of kindness, promising both actors and audience an enchanting afternoon filled with warmth and wonder.

Showtimes are Saturdays and Sundays at 11am and 2pm. Tickets are $25 and available for purchase online. Of course, you can also try to win them through the giveaway below!

[Note from Adventure Theatre: Charlotte’s Web explores themes of friendship, loss, and the cycle of life. The story includes vague discussions of animal husbandry and the passing of a beloved character, which may be emotional for some audience members. Parents and guardians are encouraged to consider their child’s sensitivity to these themes.]
