Hello, Dolly! is the enchantingly elegant story of Mrs. Dolly Levi and her determination to marry the well-known half-a-millionaire, Mr. Horace Vandergelder. Along the way, her desire to meddle in other peoples’ affairs creates crazy comedic conflict as Dolly drives the story forward, leaving behind a wake of laughter. From out in the country to the bright lights of New York City, this show sings and dances itself along with a fun, fast paced energy. This show calls for a cast of strong singers and dancers, females 13 and older and males 12 and older.

Phantom is a musical with music and lyrics by Maury Yeston and book by Arthur Kopit, based on the novel The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux. Though some may be more familiar with the musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber, this version is a beautiful, creative, and tragic telling of the classic novel. HPA patrons will know Yeston as the Tony Award winning composer of Titanic, the Musical! We will need passionate performers employing song and dance to bring to life the cacophony of characters in and around the life and culture of the theater. The elegant setting and exquisite art mixed with the story’s intrigue and suspense create a rich experience for actor and audience alike! Females age 13 and older along with males 12 and older are encouraged to audition to play a wide variety of entertaining characters, from the lively and fun to the serious and intense.
