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:Seattle Jewish Film Festival Shorts Program
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, March 13 at 7 p.m.\, Gesa Power House Theatre proudly partners once again with the Seattle Jewish Film Festival for 2024’s short film showcase: Lights\, Action\, Community! \nCentered around “Safe Travels?” (?טיולים בטוחים)\, this line-up has been curated by Walla Walla Movie Crush cofounder and our own Director of Film Programming Warren Etheredge. \nWe hit the road for many reasons: to seek\, to escape\, to grieve\, to revive. Jews find deeper meaning in the phrase Lech-Lecha —Hebrew for “go forth” or “go to yourself”— the notion that\, consciously or not\, guides the characters in this program of shorts: from the addict who drags her friend on a quest to Tzfat\, to the animated grandmother drag-racing to escape the law; from the man who drives a young woman to the border to a mother and daughter turn a trip to a big-box store into a referendum on familial hierarchies and desires. \nThe short films to be featured in this year’s festival are as follows: \nIN THE GARDEN OF TULIPS  \nJulia Elihu | Narrative Short | US | 2023 | Farsi w/English subtitles | 14m\nAt the height of the Iran-Iraq War\, Caroline takes a final car ride with her father through the Iranian countryside. \nARAVA\nSarah Meital Benjamin | Narrative Short | Israel  | 2023 | Hebrew w/English subtitles | 27m\nIn 2000s Jerusalem\, Arava reluctantly goes on a trip with her unpredictable best friend\, Tzipi. Along the way\, they’re confronted with the intricacies of their individual identities\, hopes\, losses\, and their relationship to one another. \nDEADLINE  \nIdan Gilboa | Stop-Motion Comedy Short | Israel | 2023 | Hebrew w/English subtitles | 13m\nTwo elderly women\, offended by the disrespect they experience at the hands of society\, become friends and revolt in this dark comedy. \nSULAM\nNoam Argov | Narrative Short | US | 2023 | Hebrew w/English subtitles | 11m \nWhen an immigrant teen in Central Florida must help her mother before a school exam\, tensions about belonging in and ease adapting to a new country bubble to the surface. \nPLUS IN MEMORIUM: THE BOY (הילד)*\nYahav Winnerz”l | Short Drama | Israel |2023 | Hebrew w/English subtitles | 25m \n*To honor the memory of Israeli filmmaker Yahav Winnerz”l\, SJFF is one of many film festivals around the world presenting a special premiere of his final film. Winner was murdered on October 7 while bravely stalling Hamas terrorists so his wife and their one-month-old daughter could escape to safety. We find solace in celebrating his life and work.  \nCompleted just a few months ago\, THE BOY tells the story of a father and son dealing with rocket fire while living in Kfar Aza\, a kibbutz bordering the Gaza strip. Winner’s prescient film won best cinematography at this year’s Tel Aviv International Student Film Festival. \nReserved seating tickets are $15 ($10 for students) and are available online or by calling the box office at 509-529-6500. \nA program of the Stroum Jewish Community Center\, the Seattle Jewish Film Festival runs March 2-17.

SUMMARY:Ímar
DESCRIPTION:Gesa Power House Theatre welcomes back to our stage Celtic folk band Ímar on Friday\, March 15\, 2024 at 7 p.m. This programming is supported in part by the Western States Arts Federation (WESTAF) and the National Endowment for the Arts. \nKnown for “genuinely jaw-dropping collective virtuosity” as The Scotsman puts it\, BBC Radio 2 Folk Award winners\, Glasgow-based five-piece Ímar stand out from the crowd – by taking things back to basics. \nWith a line-up featuring members of Mànran\, Mec Lir\, RURA\, and Talisk and a heavyweight collective haul of top prizes – including the 2018 BBC Radio 2 Musician Of The Year\, 2016 BBC Radio Scotland Young Musician of the Year\, BBC Radio 2 Horizon Award\, Young Folk Award\, nine All-Ireland and eight All-Britain titles – the group’s formation embodies a personal reconnection with its members’ formative years\, dating back long before their recent camaraderie around Glasgow’s justly celebrated session scene. \nAdam Brown (bodhrán)\, Adam Rhodes (bouzouki)\, Mohsen Amini (concertina)\, Ryan Murphy (uilleann pipes) and Tomás Callister (fiddle) share a strong background in Irish music – although only Murphy actually hails from Ireland; Rhodes and Callister are from the Isle of Man\, whilst Amini is a Glasgow native\, and Brown originally from Suffolk. It is these foundations which underpin many of Ímar’s distinctive qualities\, in both instrumentation and material. The band’s unmistakable synergy centers on the overlapping cultural heritage between Scotland\, Ireland and the Isle of Man. All three places once shared the same Gaelic language and a similar kinship endures between their musical traditions. \nReserved seating tickets are $35 ($20 for students) and are available online or by calling the box office at 509-529-6500.

SUMMARY:Vishniac
DESCRIPTION:Gesa Power House Theatre proudly presents the award-winning documentary Vishniac on Wednesday\, March 27 at 7 p.m. \nVishniac follows ground-breaking 20th century photographer Roman Vishniac from his early years in tsarist Russia to his emergence as a modernist photographer in Weimar Berlin\, his journeys across Eastern Europe before the war and his family’s dramatic escape to America in 1940. After the war\, Vishniac’s documentation continued with photographs of Berlin in ruins and children in displaced persons camps. Then\, in a stunning shift\, he turned almost exclusively to scientific photography\, where he made considerable contributions in the field of microscopy. His “Living Biology” series\, funded by the National Science Foundation\, features some of the first films depicting life through a microscope. They became a staple in the 1960s and 1970s in classrooms across the United States. The brilliant artist\, however\, is best known for his iconic images of Jewish life in Eastern Europe form 1935 and 1938\, the last visual records of these communities before they were wiped out. \nThe film is narrated by Vishniac’s daughter\, Mara Kohn Vishniac\, born in Berlin in 1926. Her clear-eyed view of her father adds to the complexity of a man who was a sometimes-unreliable narrator of his own life story. She was his helper in the darkroom and his “alibi” for photographing Nazi propaganda with her posed innocently in front of it. Growing up her father’s shadow\, Mara sought to break free of his grip\, only to come around and embrace his legacy. Ultimately\, she took responsibility for preserving his diverse and stunning body of work\, a haunting eulogy to a world on the brink of destruction. \nAbout the filmmaker: Producer/Director Laura Bialis is an award-winning documentary filmmaker. Her most recent film\, Rock in the Red Zone (2015) is a personal view from the ground in Sderot\, Israel\, and an exploration into the lives of musicians creating in a conflict zone.  The film was screened in over 80 cities worldwide. Bialis directed and produced the critically acclaimed documentary Refusenik (2007)\, a seminal film about the movement to free Soviet Jews\, which was released theatrically in fifteen cities\, broadcast on Israeli television\, and was released on Netflix. Other projects include View From the Bridge: Stories From Kosovo (2008); and Tak For Alt (1998)\, the story of Holocaust survivor turned Civil Rights activist Judy Meisel\, which was honored by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences\, broadcast on PBS\,  and has been used extensively in high schools across the United States for Holocaust education. Laura holds a B.A. in History from Stanford University\, and an M.F.A. in Production from the USC School of Cinema Arts. \nReserved seating tickets are $15 ($10 for students) and are available online or by calling the box office at 509-529-6500.
