A Wrinkle in Time opens Friday December 1, 2023 at Shoreline Community College

Friday, November 24, 2023


Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time has made countless appearances in classrooms across the country since it was originally published in 1962. 

But did you know it's also one of the most frequently banned books as well? 

Criticism has ranged from the book being too religious to it not being religious enough. 

When asked about her book being challenged, L'Engle responded “It seems people are willing to damn the book without reading it. Nonsense about witchcraft and fantasy. First I felt horror, then anger, and finally I said, ‘Ah the hell with it.’ It’s great publicity, really.” (New York Times, 2001).

Adapted for the stage, A Wrinkle in Time begins a two weekend run at Shoreline Community College on Friday December 1, 2023.

Performances:
  • Friday December 1 7:30pm
  • Saturday December 2 7:30pm
  • Sunday December 3 3pm
  • Friday December 8 7:30pm
  • Saturday December 9 7:30pm

The program was initiated by the King County Council County and King County Executive’s Office and aims to reduce gun violence and promote public safety.

The program aims to address the increase in gun violence in King County by implementing a voluntary firearm and ammunition return program that residents can easily access. 

By reducing the number of guns in circulation, the program hopes to decrease the number of accidents, injuries, and deaths caused by firearms. The program also offers residents a safe, consistent option for returning unwanted guns and ammunition.

The KCSO Gift Cards for Guns Program offers gift cards to residents who turn in their unwanted firearms and ammunition, with no questions asked. The program is open to all King County residents, regardless of age or legal status.

CYYAD’s Mural Apprenticeship Artwork on Exhibit at Shoreline Community College

Thursday, October 5, 2023


Over the course of eight weeks, nine students worked with Urban ArtWorks and the King County Center for Education and Career Opportunities (CECO) at Shoreline Community College to design a mural that represented an inclusive pathway to job, language and social skills.

The students, who spent the previous academic year attending GED preparation and post-secondary courses at CECO, described the meaning of the mural design in a joint artist statement:

“This mural is a welcoming, culturally positive, and bright outlook on Washington nature and the world. It also is about inclusion and family by showing a combination of different cultures and their patterns. 
"The Salmon represent Washington as well as a school as a community, the patterns outlining the mural are global. A growth and transformation journey is taking place within the mural, and it is art piece that was accomplished through teamwork.”

Students and staff pose with the completed mural.

The mural is currently on display at Shoreline Community College’s gallery and is part of the Through the Lens exhibit until October 19 before it is moved to its permanent home in the Transitional Studies Office.
  • “Urban ArtWorks made an impact that is irreversible- they made me a paint monster,” a student said.
Students said the experience helped them grow artistically and also as a community.
  • “I found friends and Ohana with Urban ArtWorks. I am forever grateful,” a student said.
Another student shared how the apprenticeship program helped them build deeper social connections.
  • “It taught me more about people and how to treat others,” the student said.

CECO is a partnership between DCHS and Shoreline Community College and provides 16 to 21-year-olds without a high school diploma the chance to return to school to earn their high school diploma and/or GED and go on to college, technical training, and/or employment. 

CECO is tuition-free and fee-free. It delivers services to support students “to and through” a post-secondary education, with paid internships, relational case management, behavioral health services, and fiscal support services, including all programs available at multiple colleges.
