In November 2010, the West End Studio Theatre produced an original play "The Lightning Thief" based on the novel by Rick Riordan with the same title.
The cast had 21 kids in it, in grades 5–9, and over 40 parts, so most actors had 2 or more parts in each cast. To spread out the "good" parts, there were two casts, with the children usually having a big role in one cast and small roles in the other. The casts were named "Sophocles" and "Euripides", with two performances for each cast. Sophocles performed on Friday night (Nov 19) and Sunday afternoon (Nov 21), while Euripides had both performances on Saturday (Nov 20). As it turned out, each performance had a slightly different cast, as one actor was sick for the Saturday night performance and a different one was sick for the Sunday performance.
The main instructor, director, and board operator was Terri Steinmann. Kelsey Holtaway was stage manager and crew, Hunter Walraff painted the backdrops, and Lucia Sciarpa did the more ambitious costumes. (I've left out the names of the minors on the creative team, but Abe did the programs.)
Abe's parts were Hades, Boy #1, and fountain in the Sophocles cast; and Luke Castellan and Yancy Student #2 in the Euripides cast.
