SUMMARY:No Other Land
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, May 14 at 7 p.m.\, Gesa Power House Theatre proudly presents No Other Land.\n \nBasel Adra\, a young Palestinian activist from Masafer Yatta\, has been fighting his community’s mass expulsion by the Israeli occupation since childhood. Basel documents the gradual erasure of Masafer Yatta\, as soldiers destroy the homes of families – the largest single act of forced transfer ever carried out in the occupied West Bank. He crosses paths with Yuval\, an Israeli journalist who joins his struggle\, and for over half a decade they fight against the expulsion while growing closer. Their complex bond is haunted by the extreme inequality between them: Basel\, living under a brutal military occupation\, and Yuval\, unrestricted and free. This film\, by a Palestinian-Israeli collective of four young activists\, was co-created during the darkest\, most terrifying times in the region\, as an act of creative resistance to Apartheid and a search for a path towards equality and justice. \nFor half a decade\, Basel Adra\, a Palestinian activist\, films his community of Masafer Yatta being destroyed by Israel’s occupation\, as he builds an unlikely alliance with an Israeli journalist who wants to join his fight. No Other Land is an unflinching account of a community’s mass expulsion and acts as a creative resistance to Apartheid and a search for a path towards equality and justice. \nReserved seating tickets ($15\, $10 for students) will be available on February 15th\, online or by calling the box office at 509-529-6500.

SUMMARY:All God's Children
DESCRIPTION:Gesa Power House Theatre proudly presents All God’s Children on Wednesday\, September 24\, 2025\, at 7PM. This program is supported\, in part\, by a grant from the Washington State Arts Commission. \nIn an unprecedented attempt to heal centuries of racism and antisemitism\, and combat the rising racial and ethnic tension in their Brooklyn communities\, the largest reform synagogue and the oldest black Baptist Church attempt to unite their congregations and bring about peace\, by becoming family. Shot over five years by acclaimed documentary filmmaker Ondi Timoner\, ALL GOD’S CHILDREN follows her sister\, activist Rabbi Rachel Timoner\, and her Congregation Beth Elohim’s partnership with Reverend Dr. Robert Waterman of Antioch Baptist Church as their faith is put to the test\, and both congregations struggle not to let their differences drive them apart. Though it’s a fraught partnership\, they refuse to walk away\, no matter how hard it gets\, and ultimately emerge with an inspiring model for how other communities might build bridges across religious\, economic and class divides to foster enduring\, powerful partnerships. \n\n \n“I began what became ALL GOD’S CHILDREN as a short film called REBEL RABBI in 2019. I was inspired by my sister’s Rabbi Rachel Timoners determination to do whatever she could to set things right in the world. As a Rabbi\, she had been arrested eight times in the last couple of years for leading nonviolent protests\, but I knew Rachel’s primary mission was always to fight racism\, dating back to our childhood in the segregated South. \nShortly after we started filming\, she had a meeting with Reverend Dr. Robert Waterman\, and they set about an unprecedented partnership to try to stop racism and antisemitism in their Brooklyn communities by becoming family – so following Rachel and Robert’s mission became our focus\, and boy was it a tumultuous ride! \nFive years later we have emerged with a feature film which I believe is an inspiring example of how to foster enduring dialogue and the power of partnership\, across all differences – religious\, racial\, or economic.” — Ondi Timoner. Director/Producer/Editor/Writer \nReserved tickets will be available for $15 ($10 for students) on May 15th\, either online or via the Box Office at 509-529-6500.

SUMMARY:Preserved
DESCRIPTION:Gesa Power House Theatre proudly presents PRESERVED on Wednesday\, October 15\, 2025\, at 7PM. \nIn an era of wildfires\, drought\, and species decline\, Vermejo is proof that ecosystem restoration is possible. And it’s a blueprint for where it can happen next. PRESERVED is more than a film—it’s a call to action. From farmers and ranchers to hikers and hunters\, we all have a role to play.\n\nFor nearly 175 years\, the Southwestern United States has seen civilizations rise and fall\, leaving behind landscapes stripped by time and industry. Northern New Mexico’s 560\,000-acre Vermejo is one such place—a land rich with history\, from dinosaurs and early Indigenous communities to homesteaders\, a conservation-minded grain baron\, and Hollywood’s glitterati seeking outdoor recreation. But modern times took their toll\, leaving it overgrazed and scarred by mining. \nIn 1996\, Ted Turner bought the land as part of his work to restore and protect lands across the United States. A dedicated team began to work to heal the land\, transforming it into a thriving sanctuary. Today\, Vermejo stands as a testament to what’s possible: biodiversity restored\, landscapes reborn\, and a model for global conservation. \nShot over 130+ days in breathtaking cinematography\, PRESERVED unveils this hidden paradise\, capturing ancient archaeological wonders and unseen wildlife behaviors—bears stealing mountain lion kills\, microscopic worlds thriving in water-filled potholes\, and animals adapting to a changing planet. Scientists\, ranchers\, and visionaries come together to revive a landscape once thought lost\, with voices like media mogul Ted Turner\, leading conservationist Kris Tompkins\, and renowned author Craig Childs. \nThis program is supported\, in part\, by a grant from the Washington State Arts Commission.  \nReserved tickets will be available for $15 ($10 for students) on August 15th\, either online or via the Box Office at 509-529-6500.

SUMMARY:Checkpoint Zoo
DESCRIPTION:Gesa Power House Theatre proudly presents CHECKPOINT ZOO on Wednesday\, October 29\, 2025\, at 7PM. \nCheckpoint Zoo documents a daring rescue led by a heroic team of zookeepers and volunteers who risked their lives to save thousands of animals trapped in a zoo behind enemy lines during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.\n\nOn February 24\, 2022\, Russia invaded Ukraine\, starting the worst war Europe has seen in over 50 years. In the early days of the invasion\, some of the fiercest fighting was on the outskirts of Kharkiv\, Ukraine’s second – largest city. On one side was the advancing Russian Army\, on the other side the\ndefending Ukrainian Army. And in between them was a zoo… called Feldman Ecopark. \nMore than just a sanctuary for animals\, Feldman Ecopark offered countless community programs from animal therapy to charity events for children with special needs. It was a cultural center for Kharkiv’s 1.4 million citizens\, unfortunately positioned less than 30 kilometers from the Russian border. When the invasion started\, Kharkiv turned into a battleground\, and the staff was forced to flee Ecopark\, leaving 5\,000 animals trapped in between the Russian and Ukrainian frontlines. Both sides were firing on each other\, and everything that fell short landed in Feldman Ecopark. But that wasn’t enough to stop several brave zookeepers from venturing back into the park time and time again to continue caring for the surviving animals. When two zookeepers were killed\, four\nvolunteers appeared on Feldman’s doorstep\, ready to help in any way they could. \nAs the war continued\, and the shelling increased\, it was clear that even the incredible bravery of the zoo staff wouldn’t be enough to save the animals. The zoo’s founder\, Oleksandr Feldman\, posted a desperate plea to social media asking for help. Miraculously\, the post went viral\, and zoos from across Ukraine and all of Europe volunteered to house the remaining animals. \nEncouraged by the response\, the zoo staff and these volunteers resolved to do the impossible – they would sneak back into Feldman Ecopark and evacuate thousands of animals\, including many dangerous predators\, and bring them to safety. In doing so\, they put themselves in incredible danger\, risking their lives to save innocent animals. \nWorking from footage captured by the zookeepers\, volunteers\, news media\, and himself on his own trip to Ukraine\, filmmaker Joshua Zeman tells the moving\, suspenseful\, and powerful story of these real – life heroes. The film details the initial attack\, the efforts to continue tending to the trapped animals\, the hair – raising evacuation\, and tragically\, the price these volunteers paid to do the right thing. \nThe zookeepers and volunteers of Checkpoint Zoo show us the absolute best of humanity at a time when it is all too easy to focus on the worst. In the face of violence\, destruction\, and cruelty\, this film is a testament to the power of compassion\, empathy\, and sacrifice. \nThis program is supported\, in part\, by a grant from the Washington State Arts Commission.  \nReserved tickets will be available for $15 ($10 for students) on August 15th\, either online or via the Box Office at 509-529-6500.

SUMMARY:The Last Class
DESCRIPTION:Gesa Power House Theatre proudly presents THE LAST CLASS on Wednesday\, November 12\, 2025\, at 7PM. \nThe Last Class is a nuanced and deeply personal portrait of master educator Robert Reich teaching his final course and reflecting on a period of immense transformation\, personally and globally. It is a love letter to education. The former Secretary of Labor might be famous for his public service\, best – selling books\, and viral social media posts\, but he always considered teaching his true calling. Now\, after over 40 years and an extraordinary 40\,000 students\, Reich is preparing for his last class. \nOver the course of the film\, Reich confronts the impending finality\, and his own aging\, with increasing candor\, introspection\, and\, ultimately\, emotion. He displays a rawness of feeling he has never shared publicly before. Drawing on his lifetime in politics\, he uses his class\, “Wealth and Poverty\,” to offer us all a deeper look at why inequalities of income and wealth have widened significantly since the late 1970s\, and why this poses dangerous risks to our society. \nOne thousand students fill the biggest lecture hall on the UC Berkeley campus\, the last class to receive Reich’s wisdom and exhortations not to accept that the world has to stay the way it is. His belief in the next generation’s ability to take on the fight is inspiring. \n \nReserved tickets are available for $15 ($10 for students)\, either online or via the Box Office at 509-529-6500.

DESCRIPTION:Gesa Power House Theatre proudly presents SUBURBAN FURY on Wednesday\, March 4\, 2026 at 7PM. This program is supported\, in part\, by Friends of Gesa Power House Theatre\, and a grant from the Washington State Arts Commission. \nIn the early 1970s\, the FBI recruited Sara Jane Moore\, a conservative mother from the San Francisco suburbs\, to infiltrate leftist organizations—but her deeply radicalizing politics complicated her role. Moore takes us back through her recollections and perspectives leading up to the moment where she attempted to assassinate President Gerald Ford\, and an eerie sense of déjà vu takes hold as the tightrope of tension—between the ideals of the US and the realities we are living through—becomes a stranglehold.

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.

SUMMARY:Texas Music Revolution
DESCRIPTION:On June 10th\, 2026\, at 7PM\, Gesa Power House Theatre is excited to present Texas Music Revolution!  \nTexas Music Revolution follows the journey of indie radio station KHYI-FM GM and music festival founder Joshua Jones as he produces the silver anniversary of this iconic event. As much a document of reintroducing live music in the wake of a pandemic\, it is a celebration of Texas and its roots–where\, at the crossroads of purist country and Americana has evolved the iconic ‘red dirt’ Waylon-and-Willie style considered one of three pillars of American country music. For more than a quarter of a century\, KHYI-FM’s commitment to radio independence has given voice to this unique sector of the country western genre. TMR has subsequently emerged as an iconic live showcase and grown into one of the largest independent music festivals in the USA. In a volatile era where larger festivals have shuttered\, Joshua and KHYI must double down to produce their grandest event yet.
