The Lightening Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical

THE LIGHTNING THIEF is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals. www.concordtheatricals.com

Book by Joe Tracz Music & Lyrics by Rob Rokicki Adapted from the book The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

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” (Time Out New York).

The Importance of Being Ernest

The Importance of Being Ernest

This spring, Shasta College will present Oscar Wilde’s classic comedy The Importance of Being Earnest. This is a witty play about status and money, but most importantly, love! The Importance of Being Earnest is a decadent, razor-sharp send-up of rigid Victorian morality, which Wilde often subtitled as “a trivial comedy for serious people.” The Importance of Being Earnest is Wilde’s most beloved play and serves as a testament to the triumph of wit, beauty, and romance over the dry proprieties of the social order of the day.

 Evening performances are scheduled for 7:00 p.m. on March 8, 9, 14, 15, with two matinees at 2:00 p.m. on March 10 and 17. The Importance of Being Earnest will be directed by Carolyn Murray, with scenic design by David Fraser, lighting by Tim Dye, costumes by Hilary Fahey, and makeup and hair by Mat McDonald. Questions about ticketing and show times should be directed to the Shasta College Theatre Coordinator, Jessica Mann, jmann@shastacollege.edu or call the Shasta College Box Office at (530) 242-7573.

Beautiful: The Carol King Musical

Before she was hit-maker Carole King — she was Carole Klein, a spunky, young songwriter from Brooklyn with a unique voice. From the chart-topping hits she wrote for the biggest acts in music to her own life-changing, trailblazing success with Tapestry, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical takes you back to where it all began — and takes you on the ride of a lifetime.

Beautiful is the inspiring tale about a girl who became King with a stirring book by the late Oscar and Tony-nominated Douglas McGrath and the music and lyrics of icons Carole King, Gerry Goffin, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil. Featuring such unforgettable classics as "You've Got a Friend", "One Fine Day", "So Far Away", "Take Good Care of My Baby", "Up on the Roof", "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling", "Will You Love Me Tomorrow", and "Natural Woman", this Tony® and Grammy® Award-winning musical phenomenon is filled with the songs you remember and a story you'll never forget.
