Theatre has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, so when I heard about PSP, I decided to come to General Auditions in the fall of 2017 to maybe get back into acting a little. I haven’t left since, and I haven’t wanted to. And while I have done quite a bit of acting since, that is only part of what my experience at PSP has been. I have found a community of amazing people here, in this theatre tucked into the forested hills. As the President, I look forward to continuing to build and strengthen that community. For me, coming to PSP has felt like coming home, and I will work to make that the way everyone feels when they walk in our doors.

Elaine Yee is thrilled to join the PSP theatre board as the Marketing Director. Elaine is thankful for the opportunities PSP has offered her as she steps back into the theatre after taking a break to pursue her career in education. She is excited to work with such a wonderful theatre company who shares the same passion of storytelling and performing arts. As a board member, she is eager to contribute her insights and collaborate with other artists in the Bay Area.

I love PSP and the great shows they put on here. I began volunteering with PSP in the Fall of 2023; as a newly graduated theater student, I felt lost with finding my footing in the theater world. PSP gave me a place to engage with other artists, get involved in their shows, and become part of their board. As VP of volunteers, I hope to bring in more people from the community to volunteer and learn new skills in theater, especially the next generation of young thespians and theater tech artists.

I first walked into PSP in the spring of 2016 for general auditions. During the callbacks I started talking with another actor and I said “it seems like everyone knows each other”. She responded, “yes, it’s a pretty small community”. My face must have fallen because she said, “but we love to have new people join us”. That was my experience that summer and it still is four years later. I am so grateful to join PSP and help welcome in other people who are new to theatre, or returning after many years away (like I was). I’m looking forward to helping PSP grow and thrive, helping out where needed and getting to know each and every one of you who are so valuable to our little theatre.

I’ve always been profoundly moved by theatre’s power to transform and inspire, and earned a B.A. in Theatre after studying acting, writing and design at U.C. San Diego. I’ve worked with PSP both on and offstage since 2015, and have been a member of both the Artistic Committee (Education Function Master, 2016-2017) and the Executive Board. PSP has given me the opportunity both to rekindle my own love of theatre, and to introduce my family to the same creative and magical world that has been such an inspiring force in my own life.
