Welcome to Seattle Center
Penguin Productions Presents Finding Trails: On Wheels
Penguin Productions is thrilled to bring youth-written new works to the Center! Finding Trails: On Wheels is a festival of four short plays written, directed, and performed by young artists paired with professional playwriting and directing mentors. Plays include Training Wheels, written by Alon Ten-Ami and directed by Milo Mechem-Miller, Wheels of Time, written by Kate Petersen and directed by Gwen Brewer, Cycle Cycle Cycle, written by Kyle Gerstel and directed by Sophia Glover, and To a Skylark, a devised adaptation of the poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley directed by Milo Mechem-Miller and assistant directed by Tee Curry. The four highly imaginative stories are inspired by our relationships with public outdoor spaces, all the things with wheels we use in these spaces, and all the ways they're used.

Artists At the Center is a multi-year collaboration between Seattle Office of Arts & Culture and Seattle Center, with support from Uptown Arts & Culture Coalition and the communities adjacent to Seattle Center campus. The project is made possible by a 10-year grant from Climate Pledge Arena and Seattle Kraken.
Join us as we introduce emerging and established artists and celebrate their talent on a newly revitalized Seattle Center campus. Artists are given a performance opportunity, allowing them to connect with new audiences, display their talents and advance their careers. Visitors to campus and the surrounding neighborhood benefit from surprising and delightful pop-up performances throughout the year. Each year, artists are selected with an equity and social justice lens, ensuring equitable representation for underserved and emerging artists. Artistic genres include music, dance, theater, demonstrations, and multi-disciplinary work.
