This production of Blood At The Root is an educational endeavor for PPAS students, staff and administrators.  In addition to the normal three day run of spring shows at PPAS, as a part of the schools new Equity in Education mission, the cast will also perform this production for students from 6th grade - 12th grade with educational curriculum developed by Javanna Productions M.O.V.E. and  PPAS humanities teachers. The objective of the additional shows is to help students engage in courageous conversations about race, intolerance and oppression thereby preparing them for problem solving and civic engagement in their communities. Students will be exposed to historical and present day academic thought around race relations in the United States and acquire new critical thinking skills for practical application.
