I was a boarding student at Yancy Academy,
Costume - uniform
Metropolitan Museum of Art
Set
He gathered us around a thirteen-foot-tall stone column with a big sphinx on the top, and started telling us how it was a grave marker, a stele,
The day i got expelled - how quick can this be?
always wore a black leather jacket,
Costume - Alecto/Mrs Dodds
Overhead, a huge storm was brewing,
Lighting/sound
Grover didn’t say anything for a while. Then, when I thought he was going to give me some deep philosophical comment to make me feel better, he said, “Can I have your apple?”
Character analysis
She tugged on the cuffs of her leather jacket.
Costume
Her eyes began to glow like barbecue coals. Her fingers stretched, turning into talons. Her jacket melted into large, leathery wings. She wasn’t human.
Transition?
There was a ballpoint pen in my hand.
RIPTIDE IMPORTANT - props
I started feeling cranky and irritable most of the time. My grades slipped from Ds to Fs. I got into more fights with Nancy Bobofit and her friends. I was sent out into the hallway in almost every class.
Character analysis
final, I got so frustrated I threw the Cambridge Guide to Greek Mythology across my dorm room.
Props?
“The Mist over the students and staff will be enough to convince him of that.”
Lighting for mist?
Grover Underwood Keeper Half-Blood Hill Long Island, New York (800) 009-0009
AD IN PROGRAM
I mean these socks were the size of sweaters, but they were clearly socks. The lady on the right knitted one of them. The lady on the left knitted the other. The lady in the middle held an enormous basket of electric-blue yarn.
Are these divas in the musical?
Confession time: I ditched Grover as soon as we got to the bus terminal.
Unrelated to what I’m doing doing but I’d kill him
“East One-hundred-and-fourth and First,” I told the driver.
Set
Smelly Gabe was in the living room, playing poker with his buddies. The television blared ESPN. Chips and beer cans were strewn all over the carpet.
Character/set
Her red-white-and-blue Sweet on America uniform smelled like the best things in the world: chocolate, licorice, and all the other stuff she sold at the candy shop in Grand Central.
I dont think this is in the show but i love this and she needs to have blue candy
I attacked the blueberry sour strings,
BLUE CANDY PROPS
It was a little pastel box with faded curtains, half sunken into the dunes. There was always sand in the sheets and spiders in the cabinets, and most of the time the sea was too cold to swim in.
Beach vibes - strong, set
We walked on the beach, fed blue corn chips to the seagulls, and munched on blue jelly beans, blue saltwater taffy, and all the other free samples my mom had brought from work.
Bumpin that
PICK YOUR OWN STRAWBERRIES
THIS. SET.
He was seven feet tall, easy, his arms and legs like something from the cover of Muscle Man magazine—bulging biceps and triceps and a bunch of other ’ceps, all stuffed like baseballs under vein-webbed skin. He wore no clothes except underwear—I mean, bright white Fruit of the Looms—which would’ve looked funny, except that the top half of his body was so scary. Coarse brown hair started at about his belly button and got thicker as it reached his shoulders.
Costumes? Minotaur - traditionally two people with a puppet
The pine tree was still way too far—a hundred yards uphill at least.
Important set piece imo - tree
A husky blond dude, like a surfer, stood in the corner of the bedroom keeping watch over me.
Are they going surfer for luke?
On the table next to me was a tall drink. It looked like iced apple juice, with a green straw and a paper parasol stuck through a maraschino cherry.
SET. Nectar and ambrosia
He was wearing blue jeans, Converse hi-tops and a bright orange T-shirt that said CAMP HALF-BLOOD.
Important - costume
In a nearby sandpit, a dozen high school–age kids and satyrs played volleyball. Canoes glided across a small lake. Kids in bright orange T-shirts like Grover’s were chasing each other around a cluster of cabins nestled in the woods. Some shot targets at an archery range. Others
Camp vibes. Lived in. Safe.
We’ll be putting him in cabin eleven for now.”
Most campers are prob unclamied
pudgy little man in a tiger-print Hawaiian shirt.
Must. Costume - Mr D
“I’m afraid our usual orientation film won’t be sufficient.” “Orientation film?” I asked.
Can’t be on a phone. Monsters detect halfbloods via phone - set? Props?
could I have your Diet Coke can?”
MUST > wine to can transition
Mr. D waved his hand again, and the wineglass changed into a fresh can of Diet Coke. He sighed unhappily, popped the top of the soda, and went back to his card game.
How to do this on stage
purplish fire in his eyes,
lighting - Mr D
I stared at the horse who had just sprung from the wheelchair: a huge white stallion.
MR BRUNNER YOU'RE A HORSE???
orange CAMP HALF-BLOOD T-shirts,
this but also tie dye??? please???
they grew strawberries instead.
PLEASE REFERENCE THE DELPHI STRAWBERRY FIELDS
Number nine had smokestacks, like a tiny factory. Number four had tomato vines on the walls and a roof made out of real grass. Seven seemed to be made of solid gold, which gleamed so much in the sunlight it was almost impossible to look at. They all faced a commons area about the size of a soccer field, dotted with Greek statues, fountains, flower beds, and a couple of basketball hoops (which were more my speed).
references to the other gods (though i feel most would be unclaimed/in hermes 11). no one in zeus, posideon, hades. only two confirmed dionysus - castor and pollux)
A girl about nine years old was tending the flames, poking the coals with a stick.
Hestia - is this possible in the show?
Number five was bright red—a real nasty paint job, as if the color had been splashed on with buckets and fists. The roof was lined with barbed wire. A stuffed wild boar’s head hung over the doorway, and its eyes seemed to follow me. Inside I could see a bunch of mean-looking kids, both girls and boys, arm wrestling and arguing with each other while rock music blared. The loudest was a girl maybe thirteen or fourteen. She wore a size XXXL CAMP HALFBLOOD T-shirt under a camouflage jacket. She zeroed in on me and gave me an evil sneer. She reminded me of Nancy Bobofit, though the camper girl was

ares/clarisse
The blond girl I’d met at the Big House was reading a book in front of the last cabin on the left, number eleven.
okay so a cutie little thing my friends did was add our cabin numbers/crests to the sleeves of our chb shirts. just a fun detail!
The guy was about nineteen, and he looked pretty cool. He was tall and muscular, with short-cropped sandy hair and a friendly smile. He wore an orange tank top, cutoffs, sandals, and a leather necklace with five different-colored clay beads. The only thing unsettling about his appearance was a thick white scar that ran from just beneath his right eye to his jaw, like an old knife slash.
Luke and Annabeth are the only campers that have this many beads (5). Is the goal for Luke to still be beachy? Or more midunderstood in the show. Scar = costume/make up but important imo
was blushing.
Annabeth HAD a crush/infatuation with Luke. He never reciprocated, but I have a firm belief that Annabeth almost dropped this entirely after meeting Percy.
Just the Minotaur’s horn.
props
“Most of the kids here did. If you weren’t like us, you couldn’t have survived the Minotaur, much less the ambrosia and nectar.” “Ambrosia and nectar.”
props - can percy actually drink nectar on stage?
Then something happened. I felt a tug in the pit of my stomach. I heard the plumbing rumble, the pipes shudder. Clarisse’s grip on my hair loosened. Water shot out of the toilet, making an arc straight over my head, and the next thing I knew, I was sprawled on the bathroom tiles with Clarisse screaming behind me. I turned just as water blasted out of the toilet again, hitting Clarisse straight in the face so hard it pushed her down onto her butt. The water stayed on her like the spray from a fire hose, pushing her backward into a shower stall.
Double check if this is in the show or not, or if its downplayed
I didn’t have one drop of water on my clothes. Nothing.
costume?? idk how this can be reflected - Percy
“My dad is a professor at West Point,” she said. “I haven’t seen him since I was very small. He teaches American history.”
Double check when Annabeth wears her dad's ring on her necklace - costume
Annabeth nodded. From under the collar of her T-shirt she pulled a leather necklace with five clay beads of different colors. It was just like Luke’s, except Annabeth’s also had a big gold ring strung on it, like a college ring.
LOL OKAY annabeth wears her dad's ring from the get go - costumes
