PPAS x Rosie’s Theater Kids Present … DRACULA!

~ The 11th and 12th Grade Drama Program Production ~
 
A wickedly theatrical reinvention of the classic tale directed by Roger Manix — where the women step out of the shadows, and when the predator strikes, they strike harder!

When your survival is at stake… will you be able to distinguish the monster from the man? Both terrifying and riotous, Kate Hamill’s imaginative, gender-bending “feminist revenge fantasy” is like no Dracula you’ve ever seen—exploring the nature of predators and reinventing the story as a smart, disquieting, darkly comic drama. Hamill’s signature style and postmodern wit upends this familiar tale of Victorian vampires—driving a stake through the heart of toxic masculinity.

Come experience Dracula as you’ve never seen it before — smart, unsettling, and electrifying.

When: March 26-28, 2026
Where: PPAS Auditorium

Say it Loud, Say it Clear — We’re Building Community Here!

Hello PPAS Community, As we gear up for the 2025-26 school year, we are filled with excitement and pride to welcome back every member of our one-of-a-kind PPAS family. Together, we carry forward a legacy of passion, creativity, and community that’s made our school a shining beacon of arts and learning. We are the PPAS PTA — a dedicated team of parent advocates, arts champions, and school partners who cheer loudly from the sidelines, fill seats at performances, support our incredible school leaders, and ensure the voices of our students and families are heard. Because when PPAS shines, we all shine! Our commitment this year is to continue rallying behind our kids, fueling the arts, and turning parent power into community magic — one performance, meeting, and high-five at a time.Our values guide us every step of the way: 1. Support Through Service: We uplift students, teachers, and arts partners by actively fundraising, volunteering, and providing the resources needed to help every learner and program succeed. 2. Connection Through Equity: We foster a welcoming, inclusive community by building strong, empathetic relationships among parents, teachers, and staff — ensuring every voice is heard and valued. 3. Empowerment Through Engagement: We promote leadership, collaboration, and transparency by encouraging parent participation in school governance, decision-making, and community-building. As our Principal Leah Dyer says, PPAS is “one extraordinary 6–12 school with incredible staff, inspiring partnerships, and endless student talent.” Together, we are honored to be part of this story — adding our energy and enthusiasm to the chapters yet to come. We look forward to an unforgettable year of growth, creativity, and community with you all! Warmly, Ruth & Raven (“R&R”)
