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
Gesa Power House Theatre proudly presents Spacewoman on Wednesday, February 15, 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.
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.

And So It Begins
2026-05-13 19:00 - 21:00 | WA
On May 13th, 2026, at 7PM, Gesa Power House Theatre presents a screening of And So It Begins. This event is sponsored by Friends of the Theatre, and supported in part by a grant from the Washington State Arts Commission.
In a decades-long nonfiction saga of the Philippines, director Ramona Diaz presents the latest chapter on her homeland as the despotic reign of President Rodrigo Duterte is coming to an end. And So It Begins proffers unbridled access to all the key players in the months leading up to the country’s 2022 presidential election. With her keen observational eye and deep knowledge of the socio-political history and landscape, Diaz continues to find her own forms of storytelling as political disruption.
Taking place in the thick of the Covid pandemic, And So It Begins is a shape-shifting story of the raucous collective act of joy expressed in a quirky resistance movement that pits itself against the haunting specter of increasing autocracy. Weaving together multiple narratives against the backdrop of a gloves-off campaign for the most powerful office in the land, what emerges is a dazzling cinematic portrait of a beleaguered nation fighting for its very soul.

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.
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.
