Kirkland Performance Center is pleased to announce a recent addition to our staff: Wes Andrews is the new KPC Development Associate.

“We are fortunate to have Wes join us at KPC,” said Development Director Dan Mayer. “He brings a wealth of experience in nonprofit administration and demonstrated skill for organizing projects and managing volunteers.”

“Following a very long process, I am extremely happy that we have filled our Development Associate position,” added Executive Director Steve Lerian. “With our development team now in place, I believe we are in excellent position to complete the year strongly.”

Andrews has lived in King County since 2004 and has had the privilege of working for a number of non-profits including the Washington State Arts Alliance and the Boys & Girls Club of North Seattle. He also volunteers his time with Washingtonians for Energy Security.

He holds a BA in Theatre Arts from the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Washington and will be appearing in local fringe company Annex Theatre’s production of Line One this fall.

“I’m looking forward to getting to know the community of Kirkland and supporting all the great performances at KPC,” said Andrews.
