SUMMARY:One Noble Journey
DESCRIPTION:Wiley’s utterly astounding work most often splits my heart open. Then it heals it — but requests to leave little scars. And it’s the scars that enable a bit more stretch\, a bit more understanding\, a bit more light. — Stephen Barefoot \nGesa Power House Theatre proudly presents Mike Wiley’s historical play One Noble Journey on Friday\, March 1 at 7 p.m. This programming is brought to you in part by WESTAF and the National Endowment of the Arts. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nHenry “Box” Brown was an African American born into slavery in 1816 in Louisa County\, Virginia. Although he was not subjected to physical violence\, Henry’s story (the basis for One Noble Journey) demonstrates the cruelty of slavery was every bit as devastating to the heart as it could be on the body. After his family was torn apart and parceled out to various beneficiaries of the estate\, Henry devised an ingenious escape plan – sealing himself in a wooden box for shipment to friends and freedom in Philadelphia. \nOne Noble Journey also recounts the daring and miraculous quest for freedom of Ellen Craft and her husband William\, who were born into slavery in Georgia. Ellen Craft\, who was very light skinned\, disguised herself as a sickly\, white gentleman traveling to Philadelphia for medical treatment. Ellen and William\, who acted as her slave throughout the journey\, bravely traveled on public trains and steamers as they made their way up the eastern seaboard to Philadelphia. Eventually they were forced to sail for England after the Fugitive Slave Law enabled slave hunters to pursue them even in free states. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Mike Wiley: Acclaimed actor and playwright Mike Wiley has spent the last decade fulfilling his mission to bring educational theatre to young audiences and communities across the country. In the early days of his career\, Wiley found few theatrical resources to shine a light on key events and figures in African-American history. To bring these stories to life\, he started his own production company. Through his performances\, Wiley has introduced countless students and communities to the legacies of Emmett Till\, Henry “Box” Brown and more. \nReserved seating tickets are $35 and are available online or by calling the box office at 509-529-6500.

SUMMARY:Holy Frit
DESCRIPTION:The last time I was this entertained by an art documentary was Exit Through the Giftshop featuring none other than Banksy. \n— Josiah Teal\, FilmThreat \nGesa Power House Theatre proudly presents the acclaimed art documentary “Holy Frit” on Wednesday\, February 21 at 7 p.m. \nIn this visceral three-year race against time\, a talented\, yet unknown L.A. artist\, bluffs his way into winning a commission to create the largest stained-glass window of its kind. The problem is\, he doesn’t know how to make it.  \nThe documentary “Holy Frit\,” directed by Justin S. Monroe\, takes place in the chaos at Judson Studios\, among the artisans who have devoted their lives to stained glass. This includes principal designer Tim Carey\, who began as an oil painter. After netting a bid in 2014 to build a stained-glass window as big as a basketball court\, Carey invites legendary glass maestro Narcissus Quagliata to the studio for two weeks\, for a crash course in techniques. One such radical method is sprinkling “frit” (finely ground colored glass) across the completed panels. The “frit” fuses with the existing panels\, creating painterly impressionistic effects. Everyone is outside their comfort zone. \nTickets ($15 Adults\, $10 Students) are available online or by calling the box office at 509-529-6500. \nWant to receive early notice and access to ticket sales?

SUMMARY:Caesar Sings Nat 'King' Cole
DESCRIPTION:Gesa Power House Theatre welcomes Caesar and his celebrated show “Caesar Sings Nat ‘King’ Cole” on Saturday\, February 17\, 2024 at 7PM. \nAs soon as anyone hears Caesar’s smooth baritone vocals and debonair delivery\, listeners instantly recall Cole. As the Screen Actors Guild said\, “Caesars’ smooth velvet voice has often been compared to Nat King Cole’s\, but he has his own interpretation and style that compares to no one\, but is essentially and superbly… Caesar.”  \nWhether accompanied by a big band\, orchestra\, or sparse acoustic guitar or piano instrumentation\, Caesar’s vocals are powerfully delivered with poise\, elegance\, and grace. A Chicago native\, Caesar has toured the world accompanying Julio Iglesias\, who has sold over 300 million records\, becoming the first and only male vocalist ever to tour with the global superstar.  \nIn August 2021\, Caesar was diagnosed with cancer. His doctors told him that he could lose his voice and hearing during his five cycles of chemotherapy and 36 radiation treatments to his head and neck. Caesar remained optimistic and told his doctors to help him prepare for his next show. On February 24\, 2022\, Caesar headlined at the Kennedy Center with the Symphony Orchestra\, 28 days after his last radiation treatment\, on January 4\, 2022. Today\, he is cancer free and continues to sing jazz standards and love ballads in five languages. \nCaesar recorded selections from Cole’s songbook at Capitol Studios\, in Studio A\, singing into the same microphone and utilizing the same Steinway piano that Cole used in the 1950s. “Jazz Standards for Today’s Audience\,” later retitled “Caesar Sings Nat King Cole\,” was engineered by 23-Time GRAMMY-winning legend Al Schmitt. \nReserved seating tickets begin at $35 ($20 for students) and are available online or by calling the box office at 509-529-6500.  To join our +Power Club\, learn more and click here.
