Know Your Place
2025-01-15 19:00 - 21:00 | Gesa Power House Theatre, 111 North 6th Avenue, Walla Walla, WA, 99362, United States
On Wednesday, January 15th, Gesa Power House Theatre presents the film Know Your Place.
Set 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.
The 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.

Director Statement
It 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.
Through 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”.
In 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.
– Zia Mohajerjasbi, Seattle, WA, September 2022
Reserved 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.

Honoring Women Peacebuilders in Africa and Beyond
2025-01-22 19:00 - 21:00 | Gesa Power House Theatre, 111 North 6th Avenue, Walla Walla, WA, 99362, United States
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.
Richard 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.
What 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?
In 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.
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!

Jess Plus None
2025-03-12 19:00 - 21:00 | Gesa Power House Theatre, 111 North 6th Avenue, Walla Walla, WA, 99362, United States
On March 12, 2025, at 7 PM, Gesa Power House Theatre presents the comedy film Jess Plus None.

Jess (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.
“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

Now living in Los Angeles, where IRL seems IR-relevant, she’s stepping onto the biggest, strangest stage of all: The Internet.
In this twenty-two episode digital series, Scout traverses the deserts of YouTube tutorials in her episodes Make-Up Tutorial, DIY Cupcake Bra and Scout on Scout. She opines on the chemical reactions society has labeled “romance” in her ballads Here We Are and Falling in Love, and delves into the complicated nature of female friendships in Frenemies. Take One Thing Off is as esoteric as it is slapstick; as high- concept as it is low-brow. You’ll laugh. She’ll cry. Grown men will drink wine from a baby pool. So be the strange you wish to see in the world, and in the immortal words of Coco Chanel, “after you dress but before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off.”

Reserved tickets will be available for $15 ($10 for students) starting November 15th, either online or via the Box Office at 509-529-6500. Want to receive early notice and access to ticket sales? Join the +Power Club (highest priority) or sign up for our email list (at the bottom of this page)!

Scout Durwood, Live!
2025-03-15 19:00 - 21:00 | Gesa Power House Theatre, 111 North 6th Avenue, Walla Walla, WA, 99362, United States
Gesa Power House Theatre will welcome comedian Scout Durwood back to the stage on Saturday, March 15 at 7 PM.
Scout Durwood Live combines comedy, music, storytelling and cabaret into a singular narrative extravaganza including hits from TAKE ONE THING OFF and COMEDY ELECTRONICA such as (I DON’T WANT TO) HOLD UR BABY, SEXUALLY IMPLICIT, STEAL UR GIRLFRIEND and more.
Inspired by her formative years as a go-go dancer and burlesque emcee, Scout’s joyfully irreverent outlook on life embraces Big Tent Queerness as a way of spreading love and unity throughout the land. A throwback to the Bette Midler bathhouse shows of the 70’s, this lightly interactive experience embraces queerness not just as sexual orientation, but as a way of life. From a dance craze inspired by Wacky Wavers to a heartfelt embrace of the darkest parts of our psyche, Scout encourages audiences to fly their freak flag with pride. It’s a comedy special with a lot of heart.
This show runs about 90 minutes, plus an intermission. Reserved seating tickets starting at $35 ($20 for students) will be available online or by calling the box office at 509-529-6500, starting on November 15th.
