The Dramatic Arts Society (DAS) is an organization that produces quality theater experiences for the Pacific Union College community. Students, faculty, staff and community members form an ensemble of actors, directors, designers and stage managers that collaborates on comedies, tragedies, musicals and original works. DAS also works with Napa Valley Musical Theater (NVMT) to produce a musical every two years. The new Alice Holst Theater, which opened in March of 2007, is a black-box theater that is used for productions and a variety of stage production classes offered through the Drama Program of the English Department.
Recent shows include the original work "Red Books: Our Search for Ellen White," which toured Southern California in the fall of 2007, and "Grace: A Musical Cabaret," which included song and dance numbers from numerous famous musicals. DAS also produces classical works, most recently Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night" in the amphitheater outside the Alice Holst Theater. Other past works include Thorton Wilder's "The Skin of Our Teeth" and "Our Town," Moliere's "The Misanthrope," and the touching musical "Fiddler on the Roof," produced with NVMT in the Lincoln Theater in Yountville.
Currently directed by PUC's Resident Artist Mei Ann Teo, DAS often utilizes the talents of outside directors, choreographers, stage managers, and designers, providing those involved with an opportunity to work with and learn from theater professionals.
