Frankenstein
2026-04-12 14:00 - 16:00 | WA
On Sunday, April 12th, at 2PM, Gesa Power House Theatre proudly presents a screening of Frankenstein, filmed live at the Royal National Theatre.
Childlike in his innocence but grotesque in form, Frankenstein’s bewildered creature is cast out into a hostile universe by his horror-struck maker. Meeting with cruelty wherever he goes, the increasingly desperate and vengeful Creature determines to track down his creator and strike a terrifying deal. Scientific responsibility, parental neglect, cognitive development, and the nature of good and evil are embedded within this thrilling and deeply disturbing classic tale.
This production stars Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock, Dr. Strange, The Imitation Game) as the Creature, filmed live at the Royal National Theatre in London in 2011. Writer Nick Dear aims to tell the story, at least initially, from the creature’s point of view. “We do start with the moment of creation,” he says, “but not told from the perspective of the scientists, which is how it’s usually told; we tell it from the perspective of the experiment rather than the experimenter.
“A great deal of what we’re trying to do in this show is to explore what it feels like to be that experiment.”
Reserved 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.

Spacewoman
2026-04-15 19:00 - 21:00 | Gesa Power House Theatre, 111 North 6th Avenue, Walla Walla, WA, 99362, United States

Astronaut Eileen Collins was the first woman to pilot and command an American spacecraft. Born on the other side of the tracks in upstate New York, she smashed many glass ceilings in the US Air Force and at NASA in her career, culminating in four increasingly dramatic and dangerous space shuttle missions. With an incredible set of archival materials, intimate interviews, and a moving score by Marcelo Zarvos, Hannah Berryman’s nail-biting film shares the emotional journey experienced by Eileen’s family, and explores what level of risk is acceptable in human endeavour.

Our Mr. Matsura
2026-05-20 19:00 - 21:00 | WA
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. Following the film screening, there will be a Q&A opportunity with the filmmaker!
Our 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.
Five 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.

Texas Music Revolution
2026-06-10 19:00 - 21:00 | Gesa Power House Theatre, 111 North 6th Avenue, Walla Walla, WA, 99362, United States
On June 10th, 2026, at 7PM, Gesa Power House Theatre is excited to present Texas Music Revolution!
Texas 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 — which, 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.

The veterans who have served our nation bear the daily burden of their untold stories. The Red Badge Project was established by former Army Captain Evan Bailey and actor and Air Force Veteran Tom Skerritt to lift that weight. The Red Badge Project is dedicated to improving the lives of veterans by sharing storytelling skills to help them manage the challenges of PTS, TBIs, moral injury, 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.
This program is sponsored by Gesa Credit Union, and supported in part, by a grant from the Washington State Arts Commission.

Twelfth Night
2026-08-20 19:00 - 2026-08-23 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.

Disney’s classic, Aladdin, tells the story of a kind-hearted street thief named Aladdin who struggles to survive in the city of Agrabah. His life changes when he meets Princess Jasmine, who longs to escape the constraints of royal life. After being tricked by the power-hungry sorcerer Jafar into retrieving a magical lamp from the Cave of Wonders, Aladdin discovers a Genie who can grant him three wishes. Hoping to win Jasmine’s heart, he uses his wishes to disguise himself as a wealthy prince.
As Aladdin navigates his new identity, he must also outwit Jafar, who seeks the lamp’s power for himself. Ultimately, Aladdin learns the importance of honesty and staying true to who he is, using his final wish to free the Genie rather than for personal gain. The story celebrates love, friendship, and the courage to be yourself.
