Kirkland Performance Center

Kirkland Performance Center (KPC), which was planned and constructed for more than a decade, now consists of an intimate, 402-seat space that showcases musical, theatrical, and dance performances. In addition to its professional performances, KPC reaches out to the community with youth programming. It presents nine student matinees each year from companies from around the country, with educational topics and entertaining themes such as Dr. Seuss's The Lorax and the scientific presentations of Doktor Kaboom!. Led by education outreach director Wes Andrews, the shows introduce youth from underserved neighborhoods to performance art and include a follow-up question and answer session to further engage the students.
