Staten Island Academy Day Camp and Tiger Hill Theatre presents...

The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical
Book by Joe Tracz
Music and Lyrics by Rob Rokicki
Performances August 3 and 4 at 7:00 pm, and August 5 at 2:00 pm

Calling all performers! Tiger Hill Theatre wants YOU to join the quest this summer! Join us for three amazing weeks as we act, sing, and dance together, creating Percy Jackson’s world of demi-gods and monsters in the Broadway smash hit, The Lightning Thief! Get ready for epic stage fights, mysterious monsters, and rock music, as we bring to life the story of a band of outcast teens with outsized powers, tasked with solving a mystery...with the fate of the entire world at stake.

Students will spend their time creating the magical world of gods and monsters: rehearsing, choreographing, and singing their way through their days. A lunch period, as well as a period of swimming and recreation, will also be provided each day. In the third week, students will remain with us until 6 pm, as we rehearse our finished show on the professional stage of Haugen Hall, working with costumes, lights, and sound! Performances will be August 3, 4, and 5.

The show will be directed by Ryan Michele Woods (Staten Island Academy faculty) and Lindsey Sproul (a NYC public school teacher), both seasoned teachers and directors with over 20 years of youth theatre experience; along with musical theatre director Ariel Ubaldegaray of the Staten Island School of Rock.

TAGcamp Early Bird: $2075 if registered and paid in full by May 1, 2023*
TAGcamp Regular Rate: $2250 if registered after May 1, 2023*
$75 non refundable registration fee is included in the above rates.

Refund Policy
Because Staten Island Academy TAGcamp must hire staff and confirm space before the start of the summer session, we are unable to make refunds. However, the $75 nonrefundable application fee will be refunded to students not accepted into the program.

TAG campers take part in three class offerings each day. The classes are interactive and are designed to help bright kids explore interesting subjects. Topics in the sciences, technology, math, humanities and the arts are explored in a deeper, creative way. All of this takes place on the beautiful 12-acre Staten Island Academy campus.

In addition to the academic offerings, students have time each day to swim in the outdoor swimming pool, play on the fields or playground and participate in other SIA day camp activities. Final student performance reports are sent to each student’s home by early fall describing what was covered in the classes as well as the student’s response to the material.
