The show features a cast, crew, and band of 35 students from all grades, as well as a staff cameo appearance by Mrs. Gyimoty. The entire cast and crew have been working together for months to put together a great spring performance for our community. Senior, Dylan Delmonico (Vice President, Assistant Director, Playing the roles of Mr. Brunner/Chiron and Hades), expressed his excitement about his final performance at Manchester, “The show [Percy Jackson] is amazing and it’s not what you think it is. There is lots of sword fighting and lots of Greek gods!!” Drama Club President and lead (Annabeth), Casey Cribbins commented, “I would just like to wish the cast and crew good luck. They are truly amazing. This [Percy Jackson] is a great show with many plot twists and lots of combat style fighting.”

In addition to the traditional singing, dancing, acting, and set creation, the students have also been trained in stage combat techniques by a professional Stage Combat Director, Terri McIntyre. 

We are sending the best of luck to the entire cast!! The Drama Club has worked their hardest to produce yet another fantastic show. Come support the arts and drama club this weekend!!
