The Des Moines Playhouse presents The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical March 6-22. Some heroes are made, and some are born of the gods. Percy Jackson just wants to be a normal kid. That wish is thrown out the window when he learns he’s the son of Poseidon and is thrust into a quest to prevent a war between the gods.

The show runs Fridays at 7:00 PM and Saturdays & Sundays at 1:00 & 5:00 PM (There is an added show on Thursday, March 19 at 7:00 PM). Tickets start at $20
