A multi-generation San Francisco native, Yee is a rising young playwright on the national scene who won a Glickman Award for best play to premiere in the Bay Area in 2015 with her last play with SF Playhouse, the tragicomedy “in a word.” Locally her plays have been seen everywhere from Impact Theatre to AlterTheater to Z Space, and her “The Great pointe shoe bag, ballet shoe bag, dance bag, red, floral, ballerina bag Leap” is coming up later this season at American Conservatory Theater, “King of the Yees” stars the phenomenal Francis Jue, a fellow San Francisco native who recently starred in “Soft Power” at the Curran and has played Broadway in “Pacific Overtures,” “M, Butterfly” and “Thoroughly Modern Millie.” (Amusingly, this isn’t the first time he’s played a playwright’s father in a metafictional comedy, having done that in David Henry Hwang’s “Yellow Face” with TheatreWorks Silicon Valley in 2009.)..

The proceeds will also help increase the number of PJCC instructors who are breast cancer exercise specialists to help serve more women. The private, small group classes at PJCC, which is the only facility on the Peninsula to offer the Pink Ribbon Program, are open to all breast cancer survivors. Today, breast cancer is no longer viewed as an automatic death sentence, but instead considered a treatable illness, thanks in part of early prevention awareness and advanced treatment options.

The council made its declaration to “put at ease those San Ramon Village residents who apparently believe Pleasanton wants to annex that development.”, Mayor Warren Harding made it clear that “city planning and annexation policies insofar as we can envision, do not include going north of Highway 50, We certainly have no thoughts of annexing San Ramon Village.”, What the city does look forward to, however, is extension of its zoning influence north to the pointe shoe bag, ballet shoe bag, dance bag, red, floral, ballerina bag highway west to the ridge of hills at the back of Castlewood, south and east to the projected new highway 108 from Scotts Corner through Isabel Avenue and on to Highway 50..
