The Kirkland Performance Center is the main performing arts venue on the Eastside, a 400-seat theatre presenting music, theatre, comedy, and dance throughout the year. The programming mixes national touring acts with local companies and regional performers, and the intimate size means there is not a bad seat in the house.
The KPC hosts an annual summer concert series and is the home stage for several Eastside performing arts organisations. The building is modern and well-equipped; parking is easier here than in Seattle for those driving from the suburbs. Check the schedule in advance — shows sell out, and the venue books good acts for its size.
