College of San Mateo Theatre

Viva La Vida with Excerpts from P1N0CCH10 &amp; Carmilla features new works and a returning Oceánica Ballet autumn tradition. 
Act 1 premieres selections from two upcoming story ballets. P1N0CCH10, a retelling of Carlo Collodi's classic tale of Pinocchio, explores humanity, artificial intelligence, and our relationship with the natural world. Carmilla, an adaptation of Sheridan Le Fanu's groundbreaking sapphic vampire novella, stages a mysterious masquerade ball.
Act II features the return of Viva La Vida, the original story of Lucio and Lupita in a joyful folklórico-infused tale about transcending loss and the resilience of love, inspired by Día de los Muertos. In this “celebration of life, loved ones and culture,” writes Jocelyn Tong of the Daily Californian, “mythic creatures from the land of the dead … [lead to] twirled scarves and snapped-open fans …in a story of homecoming.” Throughout all three stories, the wisdom of women across time and cultures is amplified.

Halloween & Día de los Muertos, Oceánica Ballet’s Viva La Vida & Excerpts of P1N0CCH10 & Carmilla

Our regional parks need board members who actually use them. As an avid hiker, mountain biker, and weekly park user, I see firsthand where trail maintenance is neglected and how urgent proactive wildfire safety is for our parks, open spaces, and bordering neighborhoods.&nbsp;Having been appointed to the Park Advisory Committee (PAC) in 2022 and now serving as its Elected Chair&mdash;alongside my past leadership as PAC Finance Subcommittee Chair and a 30+ year career at Coca-Cola and Clorox&mdash;I bring the proven oversight and governance experience our parks need.
I&rsquo;m running for the East Bay Regional Park District Board of Directors to bring firsthand experience and professional, accountable leadership to park governance for residents across Pleasanton, Livermore, Dublin, Sunol, Fremont, and Newark.
That hands-on, practical approach is why I am honored to have earned the endorsement of our local first responders:
<ul><li>&#128293; Alameda County Firefighters Association (IAFF Local 55)</li><li>&#128293; Livermore-Pleasanton Firefighters (IAFF Local 1974)</li><li>&#128293; Fremont Firefighters (IAFF Local 1689)</li></ul>
They trust my campaign because I pair real user knowledge with a relentless focus on community safety. As your Director, my priorities for Ward 5 will be:
<ul><li>&#128658; Wildfire Mitigation: Proactive fuel reduction through prescribed fire and conservation grazing, and a fully staffed EBRPD Fire Department. That&rsquo;s how we keep our parks, our neighborhoods, and our firefighters safe.</li><li>&#128693; Responsible, Safe Access: Increasing safe, well-maintained trails for all users.</li><li>&#129413; Habitat &amp; Watershed Conservation: Protecting our parks, open spaces, and watersheds.</li><li>&#128104;&zwj;&#128105;&zwj;&#128103;&zwj;&#128102; Recreation: Support family-friendly park experiences.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li>&#128483;&#65039; Accountable Leadership: A park Director who listens to local residents and responds to your concerns.&nbsp;</li></ul>
I would be honored to earn your vote to bring active, accountable leadership to our regional parks.
