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.

SUMMARY:Edward Scissorhands (dance)
DESCRIPTION:Gesa Power House Theatre proudly presents Edward Scissorhands on Wednesday\, September 25\, at 7:00 PM\, and Sunday\, September 29\, at 2:00 PM. \nMatthew Bourne’s magical dance production of Edward Scissorhands has carved a place in the hearts of audiences worldwide since its premiere in 2005. Filmed live for the first time in March 2024 at the Wales Millenium Centre\, Cardiff\, this “visually arresting and ceaselessly inventive” (Metro) production is “the perfect treat for all the family” (The Times). \nIn a castle high on a hill lives Edward: a boy created by an eccentric inventor. When his creator dies he is left alone and unfinished with only scissors for hands until a kindly townswoman invites him to live with her suburban family. Can Edward find his place in the well-meaning community which struggles to see past his curious appearance to the innocence and gentleness within? \n“The story of Edward Scissorhands has never felt timelier. In an era when uniqueness and identity are both celebrated and reviled\, the story of how we treat anyone who appears to be different in our communities is as poignant and relevant now\, as when my dear friend Caroline Thompson wrote the screenplay for Tim Burton’s legendary movie fable some 33 years ago… If you come to see it in cinemas\, I hope that you too will fall in love with the enchanting story of Edward Scissorhands\, the incomplete boy left alone in a strange new world.” Sir Matthew Bourne\, Artistic Director\, New Adventures. \nFilmed during a live event\, the Live Cinema Series offers audiences an equivalent to the best seat in the house\, with incredibly detailed close-ups of the performers. \nReserved seating tickets are $15 ($10 for students) and are available online or by calling 509-529-6500. Runtime is 95 minutes. \n \n★★★★★ ‘Stunning! The wonders keep coming in Bourne’s magical version of the Tim Burton classic.’ The Observer\n★★★★★ ‘Straight from the heart. A stunning finale that knocks you sideways.’ Metro\n★★★★★ ‘Full of wit and invention. A joyful theatre experience.’ WhatsOnStage

SUMMARY:Know Your Place
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, January 15th\, Gesa Power House Theatre presents the film Know Your Place. \nSet against the rapidly changing landscape of Seattle\, Know Your Place is a poignant slice-of-life drama following 15-year-old Robel Haile\, an Eritrean-American boy\, as he embarks on a seemingly simple errand that transforms into an emotional journey. Tasked with delivering a huge and heavy suitcase across town\, destined for a sick family member in his parents ‘homeland’\, Robel and his best friend Fahmi must navigate Seattle’s evolving streets while confronting themes of family responsibility\, identity\, and the dislocation caused by economic displacement. \nThe film explores the essence of home—what it means to a young boy at a time of personal transition and to a city undergoing significant redevelopment. Director Zia Mohajerjasbi captures Seattle’s beauty and reflects on the dissolution of communities\, making Know Your Place both a love letter and a lament for a hometown in flux. \n \nDirector Statement \nIt is personal as an attempt to capture the beauty of the place that raised me and those I keep company with\, in this moment of rapid transition; in which the disappearance of the familiar continues to gain momentum with increasing scope and intensity. The dissolution of community\, economic displacement\, and redevelopment of legacy neighborhoods has made part of the city to which I’d been intimately connected almost unrecognizable. This film is about capturing some sense of what Seattle is\, what it has been\, what it is becoming. It is a film about home. \nThrough an intimate narrative lens and characterization\, “Know Your Place” depicts impermanence as a relative experience. The film centers this experience through the eyes of Robel\, an Eritrean-American boy of 15 years\, at a time of transition in his own life\, within the greater transitional context of Seattle and the Pacific Northwest. The film’s key performers are almost all first-time actors or second-time collaborators with me. I am unwaveringly committed to a methodology that embraces storytelling as a universal human trait. As tools to filmmakers become more available\, the localization of cinema is vital – adding nuance\, specificity\, potency and authenticity to stories represented in film. No story is “too small”. \nIn essence\, “Know Your Place” is an exercise in this process – reflecting the possibilities of storytelling in cinema that is grounded in community\, friendship and ongoing cultural exchange. This film is as independent and homegrown as it gets: a diverse cross section of our city’s inhabitants\, collaborating to bring a story of ‘home’ to life in a way that honors the beauty of our shared space\, and the nuance of the individual experiences contained within it. \n– Zia Mohajerjasbi\, Seattle\, WA\, September 2022 \nReserved seating tickets will be available for $15 ($10 for students) either online or by calling the box office at 509-529-6500\, starting on November 15th\, 2024. \nWant to receive early notice and access to ticket sales?

SUMMARY:Honoring Women Peacebuilders in Africa and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, January 22\, at 7 PM\, Gesa Power House Theatre proudly features Honoring Women Peacebuilders in Africa and Beyond. This event is sponsored by The American Association of University Women (AAUW)-Walla Walla and Humanities Washington. \nRichard Middleton-Kaplan (he/him) is the director of Academic Support Services at Whitman College. In 2011\, Richard spent a sabbatical at the Centre for Applied Human Rights at University of York\, helping to develop a course on literature and human rights. His publications include “Using Literature to Teach Peace” in Peace Research: The Canadian Journal of Peace and Conflict Studies. \nWhat makes women’s peacebuilding movements so effective—often more effective than larger scale national and international initiatives? Why is the work of women peacebuilders less well-known and celebrated than that of their male counterparts? Is the collective nature of women’s peacemaking work a reason it’s both effective yet also underappreciated?   \nIn this talk\, meet peacebuilders beyond the usual names like Mother Theresa and Jane Addams\, and gain an appreciation for the collective nature of women’s peacebuilding activities. Glimpse the more peaceful horizon that could dawn if we inspired and supported women’s peacebuilding collectives.  \nGesa Power House Theatre is committed to ensuring that the arts are for everyone. Join us for this free community event\, bringing impactful stories to the Walla Walla Valley. Donations are welcome! \n

SUMMARY:Jess Plus None
DESCRIPTION:On March 12\, 2025\, at 7 PM\, Gesa Power House Theatre presents the comedy film Jess Plus None. \n \nJess (Abby Miller\, Justified)\, a reluctant maid-of-honor attends her best friend’s off-the-grid wedding in the woods\, where she’s forced to confront her ex-girlfriend\, her more successful college friends\, and every horrible choice she’s made in her life so far\, until a chance meeting with an elusive park ranger (Matt Walsh\, Veep) shows Jess the real force of nature at this wedding…might be her. \n“Screwball comedies feel like something from a bygone era\, but Mandy Fabian’s directorial debut JESS PLUS NONE manages its tones masterfully while giving us a flawed but relatable protagonist who’s simply doing the best she can. If you’re not laughing\, you’re cringing\, and that makes it a screwball comedy through a contemporary lens.” – SQF \nReserved seating tickets ($15\, $10 for students) will be available starting November 15th\, online or by calling the box office at 509-529-6500. \nWant to receive early notice and access to ticket sales?
