SUMMARY:Our Mr. Matsura
DESCRIPTION:On May 20th\, 2026\, at 7PM\, Gesa Power House Theatre proudly presents Our Mr. Matsura\, directed by Emmy award-winning filmmaker Beth Harrington. This program is supported in part by Friends of the Theatre\, and a grant from the Washington State Arts Commission. \nOur Mr. Matsura is the story of Frank (Sakae) Matsura\, the orphaned son of a samurai\, who emigrated to Washington State in 1901\, eventually settling in remote Okanogan County. There he embedded himself in a community of Native people and newly arrived settlers and immigrants\, including miners\, ranchers\, shopkeepers\, and cowboys. In short order\, he became the region’s leading photo-chronicler and\, to many\, its most beloved citizen. Matsura not only made engaging photographs of people\, events\, and landscapes\, but he also revealed facets of himself through scores of unusual self-portraits. Upon his untimely death at the age of 39\, he was mourned in the largest funeral anyone in the area had seen to that date. Through his lens\, Frank Matsura offered up remarkable retellings of life in the American West and gave people new ways of thinking about themselves. A century later\, the people of the county and the Colville Confederated Tribes still have pride and a sense of connection to the work he created. \nFive years in the making\, Our Mr. Matsura includes the thoughts and family memories of a wide array of people from the Colville Confederated Tribes and the small Washington communities of Okanogan\, Omak\, Conconully\, and Brewster\, as well as extended family members in Japan and experts from around the world. The film not only celebrates the life of this amazing immigrant photographer\, but also the lives of the people who have helped uphold his memory in the century since his death. \n \nReserved seating tickets begin at $15 ($10 for students) and will become available online to +Power Club members on February 8 at 8AM\, and to the general public on February 15 at 8AM. To join our +Power Club\, or learn more\, click here.
