This project is also supported in part by Creative West which receives support in part from the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.
Amelia Day is a folk rock powerhouse entering the conversation with mainstays like Sheryl Crow, Hozier, and Brandi Carlile. Underscoring her carefree melodies with gritty, confessional lyricism and raw, heartfelt delivery, she shares stories of young queer life with an intimacy that makes even new listeners feel familiar.
Raised in Washington state, Amelia is deeply influenced by the folk and grunge artists that also found their footing in the overcast forests and slick streets of Seattle (like The Head And The Heart, Fleet Foxes, Nirvana, and again, Brandi Carlile). Mixing elements of her adolescent mixtapes of folk, rock, and jazz, she creates music that plays freely with genre, but is still undeniably “Amelia Day”.
Whether you find Amelia through a live show with her backing band “The Cloves” or her innovative online content, her humor, joy, and authenticity are bound to win you over. Without a label, manager, or agent, Amelia has sold out venues in Seattle, DC, and Boston; been played on popular stations like “KEXP” and “107.7 The End”; and even been booked for iconic festivals like “Bumbershoot” and “Capitol Hill Block Party”.

Get ready to laugh the night away as Gesa Power House Theatre welcomes Andrew Sleighter and Tyler Boeh to the stage on Saturday, February 7, 2026 at 7 p.m. for an evening of incredible comedy and fun.
Andrew Sleighter started in comedy looking for the perfect funny line to open a biography. Since then, Andrew’s laid-back style and clever writing has won him appreciation from fans and respect from his peers.
Andrew performed on Last Comic Standing, recorded a comedy special for Dry Bar and made his late-night stand-up debut on Conan. He’s also written and performed sketch comedy for Comedy Central and wrote and blogged for the Sports Show with Norm Macdonald on Comedy Central. Most recently Andrew appeared on the Late Late Show with James Corden.
A regular at colleges and comedy clubs across the country, Andrew’s also performed at some of the most prestigious comedy festivals in and out of the country including Bumbershoot, Bridgetown, Gilda’s Laugh Fest, The Aspen Comedy Festival, Laughing Skull, and the Johnny Carson Great American Comedy Festival.
Andrew’s comedy has the ability to reach wide ranges of audiences and works in a diversity of rooms. Reliable and consistent, he rarely ends a show by lighting the stage on fire out of rage. Most importantly, he’s constantly fascinated by and eager to keep learning about stand-up.

How do you go from being a nationally recognized vocal percussionist in a college acapella group to a nationally touring headlining comedian? Ask Tyler Boeh, a comedian whose comedy has been described as high-energy, intelligent, physical, and silly. His quick wit and award winning “beat-boxing” talent bring audiences to hysterical heights. Tyler started his stand-up career in his hometown of Portland, OR, but after placing in the finals of comedy competitions in Seattle, San Francisco, Boston, and at the World Series of Comedy in Las Vegas, Tyler made his way to Los Angeles. Within a year of his move to Hollywood he had established himself at the top comedy clubs, completed work on two television pilots, and Tyler’s debut comedy album, “Carpool Companion” was chosen as LaughSpin Magazine’s album of the year when it was released in 2012.
In 2015, Tyler held his own with Craig Fergusson on his new show, “Celebrity Name Game”, was featured in numerous BuzzFeed videos, and appeared in 3 episodes of “Laughs on Fox”. 2016 culminated with a college tour that took him to nearly 40 campuses across the country and a return visit to showcase for the third season of “Laughs” on Fox. In 2018, Tyler released his second album, “Full Circle”, which was selected in January as the SiruisXM 98 artist of the month and debuted at #2 on the Billboard Comedy Charts. Also in 2018, he released his Dry Bar Comedy special “Wait For It”, which has already received over 10 million views online. In 2023, Tyler returned to Dry Bar to film his second special titled “Upgraded”, which was released across multiple platforms in February of 2024. In 2025 in addition to his regular touring and headlining dates, Tyler has been a regular opening act for Leanne Morgan on her nationwide “Just Getting Started” tour.
Tyler continues to perform across the country at comedy clubs, colleges, cruise ships, and theaters bringing his incredible brand of humor wherever he goes. You can hear his comedy on Sirius XM Radio, Pandora, Amazon Prime, and many other platforms online, but don’t miss the chance to see Tyler perform live!

December 1, 1955 in Montgomery, AL: Rosa Parks refuses to give up her seat to a white man on a city bus. this action inspires the black citizens of Montgomery to abandon all travel on city busses until they are no longer forced to stand when a white person boards. There were more who came before, brave visionaries who laid the groundwork for this pivotal moment. Tired Souls introduces audiences to fellow heroes and heroines including Jo Ann Robinson, Claudette Colvin and others instrumental in the Civil Rights Movement who changed the course of U.S. history.
About 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.

Bi-monthly classes for veterans are offered in conjunction with the Vet Centers in Walla Walla, Seattle, Federal Way, Everett, and Spokane. At this event, we are honored to be some of the first people outside of the Red Badge Project classroom to hear these stories.

Twelfth Night
2026-08-20 19:00 - 2026-08-23 21:00, 2026-08-27 19:00 - 2026-08-30 21:00 | WA
Gesa Power House Theatre is proud to announce the return of SHAKESPEARE UNDER THE STARS to Echolands Winery! This outdoor production invites you to experience Shakespeare as it was meant to be: alive, communal, and surrounded by the beauty of the natural world. Set against the stunning backdrop of Echolands Winery, evenings begin with live pre-show music and the chance to gather with friends over a glass of wine before the story begins. You will have eight opportunties to attend for 2026. The show will begin each evening August 20-23, and August 27-30 at 7:00PM.
This year we will enjoy Shakespeare’s classic comedy of mischief, music, and mistaken identity unfolds under the open skyfor a production of TWELFTH NIGHT. A shipwreck separates Viola from her twin brother, Sebastian, and leaves her stranded in an unfamiliar land. Determined to survive, she disguises herself as a young man and steps into a world already brimming with longing, desire, and barely contained emotion.

In the neighboring households of Olivia and Orsino, love runs wild and rarely in the right direction. Affections are misplaced, identities are blurred, and even the ever-proper steward Malvolio is drawn into the chaos. As music fills the air and disguises deepen the confusion, Twelfth Night unfolds into a joyful tangle of unrequited love, comic mischief, and unexpected possibility—where nothing is quite as it seems, and anything can happen.

Last year’s showing were each a full house, so we highly encourage you RSVP and save your spot! Bring a friend, bring the whole family (and a picnic if you like) and join us for an unforgettable night of theater under the stars.

On Wednesday, September 16, at 7 PM, Gesa Power House Theatre proudly features Art, Creativity & Immigrant Youth, presented by speaker Lakeya Afolalu. This event is sponsored by Walla Walla and Humanities Washington.
Young people across the U.S.—and especially in Washington—are growing up between languages, countries, and cultures. In this talk, explore how immigrant and transnational youth, particularly girls of color, use the arts to express their identities while navigating transnational lives and multilingualism.
Drawing from personal experience, community-based work in South Seattle, and youth stories, Afolalu highlights how creative expression becomes a vital space for self-expression, community, and voice.
Lakeya Afolalu lives in Seattle, and is an assistant professor of language, literacy, and culture at the University of Washington. A Nigerian and African American scholar and leader, her work explores immigrant and transnational youth identities through literacy, language, and the arts. She has a PhD from the University of Texas at Austin.
Gesa 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! Space is limited – reserve your seat today!
