HOPO auditions are always the Monday after the youth production closes in July. Casting takes place that day, and you do a read through of the script. Then, you get a week or so off to learn the script on your own or if you have a really big part, you might get some extra rehearsals in. Then, everyone gets together for rehearsals all day Monday Friday, and you put on a show Saturday and Sunday! It s a fast-paced, demanding schedule, but perfect for kids who have never been in a show or for those who can t commit to the whole rehearsal schedule of the summer production.
