“The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical”

Ballyhoo Theatre is thrilled to announce our Spring Student Production: The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical.

As the half-blood son of a Greek god, Percy Jackson has newly discovered powers he can’t control, monsters on his trail, and is on a quest to find Zeus’ lightning bolt to prevent a war between the gods.

Based on the bestselling novel by Rick Riordan and featuring a thrilling original rock score, The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical is an action-packed theatrical adventure that has been celebrated by audiences and critics alike. 

The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical has a Drama Desk nominated book by Joe Tracz, with music and lyrics by Rob Rokicki.

The show, directed by Shileah Corey with choreography by Mackenzie Neusiok, stage management by TJ Gose, and musical direction by Max Chastain, will be held at the Black Box Theatre at Edmonds College, 

April 12-21, 2024. Friday - Saturday 7:30pm. Sunday 1pm

More about Ballyhoo Theatre:

We are a queer led organization (the vast majority of our Board and Youth Advisory Boards are made up of queer-identifying individuals), and the majority of the students in our educational program identify as LGBTQIA2+.

In addition to our Mainstage productions, our specialty is working with teens and young adults to tell either existing queer stories, or adapting traditional stories to become queer inclusive while still honoring the original intention of the work. 

Our positive impact on the community has been seen for over 15 years. Hundreds of current and former students have shared stories about their experiences feeling seen, heard, loved, embraced, celebrated and accepted for who they are – often for the first time. 

They are loved and supported even when they aren't at their best. We focus on accommodations for the mental health of students that allow them to be fully who they are without judgment, while still being able to fully participate. We are consistently seeing growth, maturity, and incredible kindness develop in Ballyhoo students. 

This is a one-of-a-kind program that we are incredibly proud of.

FBI warns about financially motivated sextortion targeting minors and young adults

Saturday, January 20, 2024

The FBI this week issued a new warning about an evolving online threat targeting minors and young adults: financially motivated sextortion.

In these schemes, predators typically pretend to be alluring young girls to befriend teen boys — often on social media and gaming platforms. 

The predators then trick these teens into exchanging sexually explicit material or believing the predators have already obtained it.

Once the scammers have a victim's pictures or video, they demand money to keep the explicit material from being shared with the victim’s family and friends. Even when victims comply, scammers often demand more money and escalate the threats.

The FBI saw a 20% increase in reports of financially motivated sextortion incidents targeting minors during a six-month period that ended in March 2023, compared to the previous year. 

The scam is the latest iteration of sextortion, which has historically been driven by sexual gratification and control, but is now mostly motivated by greed. Minors and young adults caught in this trap often feel isolated, embarrassed, and cornered with seemingly no way out. In some cases, victims have turned to self-harm and suicide.

The FBI is urging parents, educators, caregivers, teens, and young adults to fully understand the dangers of financially motivated sextortion and to know there are options for those who need help.

"The consequences of sextortion are being felt across the country," said FBI Director Christopher Wray. "We and our partners will relentlessly pursue criminals who perpetuate this deplorable activity."

Anyone being exploited in a sextortion scheme should do the following:
  • Understand you are not at fault and you are not alone
  • Ask for help from a trusted adult or law enforcement before sending money or more images. Cooperating with the predator rarely stops the blackmail and harassment—but law enforcement can
  • Report the predator’s account via the platform’s safety feature
  • Block the predator from contacting you
  • Report the scheme immediately to the FBI or local law enforcement
  • Save all interactions; those can help law enforcement identify and stop the predator

If sexually explicit images have been shared, visit the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's Take it Down tool or Is Your Content Out There? for potential removal
