Titanic, the Musical is based on the true story of the maiden voyage of the ultra-luxurious, “unsinkable” RMS Titanic. The show captures the exhilaration surrounding this technological wonder and the hopes and dreams of the many people who were on board. It is both serious and entertaining as the audience is introduced to the real-life individuals who played an integral part in the fateful journey. Their aspirations are brought to light and their character revealed as they deal with issues such as class, immigration, and mankind's vulnerability in the face of nature. With rich and stirring music, this monumental musical will make a lasting impression. Requiring a large ensemble, including females age 13 and above plus males age 12 and above, this show includes abundant feature roles for high school students.

The Pirates of Penzance sails to the HPA stage this month and showcases a cast of HPA's Staff and Alumni from all 3 cities! With its swashbuckling escapades, this comedy by musical greats Gilbert and Sullivan has stood the test of time. Pirates is a truncheon-swinging yet tender-hearted story that will leave audiences crying with laughter as “the slave of duty” follows his heart’s deepest desire.
