Aimee Ferenz is honored to be bringing back Mainstage’s night show with The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical. She has worked as a director, music director, choreographer, prop designer, stage manager, and set painter across New Jersey and Pennsylvania since 2017. Aimee has also been seen as a performer, most recently as Mary (Hallelujah, Baby!), Heather (American Idiot), and The Bird Woman (Mary Poppins). She has a bachelor's in Music Education and a minor in Creative Writing from Rowan University. She cannot wait to bring her knowledge to Mainstage to the fullest extent and bring on the Monsters!

Julie Morell is an incoming student at Stockton University, where she will begin studying theatre in the fall of 2022. She was last seen onstage about a year ago, playing Martha in Heathers, so a return to the stage is well past overdue. She has been working with Mainstage Center for the Arts for almost an entire year in various administrative positions. She is incredibly thrilled to be able to flex her artistic muscle with this amazing organization by working on this production of The Lightning Thief. Having been a huge fan of the Percy Jackson novels since she was 11 years old, she feels incredibly qualified to work on this production and cannot wait to take on this adventure with one of her best friends, Aimee Ferenz. Bring on the monsters!

Rocco is very excited to make his debut at Mainstage Center for the Arts. He is very excited to be a part of a show that he has loved since it was on Broadway and the books he read when he was in middle school. Rocco just closed a production of Sister Act at the Media Theater and has nine years of experience in multiple weapons for stage combat. He would like to thank Amiee and the staff for giving him the opportunity to share his love of safe violence and thank his family, friends, and most of all, his girlfriend for their continued and constant support!
