Gesa Power House Theatre offers a Little Watts Children’s Series of Family Entertainment to give Walla Walla more family-friendly entertainment options. From circus entertainers to magicians to singers and live theater, the Little Watts series is always geared towards catching the short attention spans of young audience members. We find that parents often find the shows entertaining as well. We also try to schedule these shows during breaks from school, whenever possible.

The Little Watts series is made possible with the generous sponsor support of Walla Walla Valley Honda!

Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 restrictions we are unable to host any live events at this time, but rest assured we are already planning for future events. In the meantime, we are compiling a periodic e-mail newsletter with ideas for entertaining the young people in your lives – at home. (examples below, sign up here)
