All God's Children
2025-09-24 19:00 - 21:00 | Gesa Power House Theatre, 111 North 6th Avenue, Walla Walla, WA, 99362, United States
Gesa Power House Theatre proudly presents All God’s Children on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, at 7PM. This program is supported, in part, by a grant from the Washington State Arts Commission.
In an unprecedented attempt to heal centuries of racism and antisemitism, and combat the rising racial and ethnic tension in their Brooklyn communities, the largest reform synagogue and the oldest black Baptist Church attempt to unite their congregations and bring about peace, by becoming family. Shot over five years by acclaimed documentary filmmaker Ondi Timoner, ALL GOD’S CHILDREN follows her sister, activist Rabbi Rachel Timoner, and her Congregation Beth Elohim’s partnership with Reverend Dr. Robert Waterman of Antioch Baptist Church as their faith is put to the test, and both congregations struggle not to let their differences drive them apart. Though it’s a fraught partnership, they refuse to walk away, no matter how hard it gets, and ultimately emerge with an inspiring model for how other communities might build bridges across religious, economic and class divides to foster enduring, powerful partnerships.

“I began what became ALL GOD’S CHILDREN as a short film called REBEL RABBI in 2019. I was inspired by my sister’s Rabbi Rachel Timoners determination to do whatever she could to set things right in the world. As a Rabbi, she had been arrested eight times in the last couple of years for leading nonviolent protests, but I knew Rachel’s primary mission was always to fight racism, dating back to our childhood in the segregated South.
Shortly after we started filming, she had a meeting with Reverend Dr. Robert Waterman, and they set about an unprecedented partnership to try to stop racism and antisemitism in their Brooklyn communities by becoming family – so following Rachel and Robert’s mission became our focus, and boy was it a tumultuous ride!
Five years later we have emerged with a feature film which I believe is an inspiring example of how to foster enduring dialogue and the power of partnership, across all differences – religious, racial, or economic.” — Ondi Timoner. Director/Producer/Editor/Writer

C Street Brass began in 2008 as a small project between five friends who are coincidentally the most handsome men ever to grace the earth. Equally as comfortable in the sound world of baroque music as they are in Broadway, C Street Brass’ mission is to connect lovers of the arts from all walks of life around a highly energetic and engaging concert experience.
C Street Brass was Ensemble in Residence at Carnegie Mellon University from 2012-2015 During this time the group fell in love with the thriving music scene of Pittsburgh, PA where the group is now based. C Street has been featured on a variety of performing arts series around the country including: Corpus Christi Chamber Music Series, Chamber Music Pittsburgh, and Strings Music Festival where they were Artists in Residence from 2013-2018. Internationally, C Street Brass has toured in Tbilisi, Georgia as resident ensemble of the 2012 Traveling Notes Music Festival and in Doha, Qatar in 2014 as ambassadors for Carnegie Mellon University.

In 2014, members of C Street Brass developed Beauty Slap, an entirely new band concept combining the sound of classically trained brass with modern electronic dance music. The result was the creation of an entirely new genre, thunder funk. Beauty Slap has performed and toured extensively across the United States. Often, C Street Brass and Beauty Slap share dual residencies to offer contrasting and complementary perspectives on the current state of entrepreneurship and the business of music.

Preserved
2025-10-15 19:00 - 21:00 | Gesa Power House Theatre, 111 North 6th Avenue, Walla Walla, WA, 99362, United States
Gesa Power House Theatre proudly presents PRESERVED on Wednesday, October 15, 2025, at 7PM.
In an era of wildfires, drought, and species decline, Vermejo is proof that ecosystem restoration is possible. And it’s a blueprint for where it can happen next. PRESERVED is more than a film—it’s a call to action. From farmers and ranchers to hikers and hunters, we all have a role to play.

For nearly 175 years, the Southwestern United States has seen civilizations rise and fall, leaving behind landscapes stripped by time and industry. Northern New Mexico’s 560,000-acre Vermejo is one such place—a land rich with history, from dinosaurs and early Indigenous communities to homesteaders, a conservation-minded grain baron, and Hollywood’s glitterati seeking outdoor recreation. But modern times took their toll, leaving it overgrazed and scarred by mining.
In 1996, Ted Turner bought the land as part of his work to restore and protect lands across the United States. A dedicated team began to work to heal the land, transforming it into a thriving sanctuary. Today, Vermejo stands as a testament to what’s possible: biodiversity restored, landscapes reborn, and a model for global conservation.
Shot over 130+ days in breathtaking cinematography, PRESERVED unveils this hidden paradise, capturing ancient archaeological wonders and unseen wildlife behaviors—bears stealing mountain lion kills, microscopic worlds thriving in water-filled potholes, and animals adapting to a changing planet. Scientists, ranchers, and visionaries come together to revive a landscape once thought lost, with voices like media mogul Ted Turner, leading conservationist Kris Tompkins, and renowned author Craig Childs.
This program is supported, in part, by a grant from the Washington State Arts Commission.

Checkpoint Zoo
2025-10-29 19:00 - 21:00 | Gesa Power House Theatre, 111 North 6th Avenue, Walla Walla, WA, 99362, United States
Gesa Power House Theatre proudly presents CHECKPOINT ZOO on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, at 7PM.
Checkpoint Zoo documents a daring rescue led by a heroic team of zookeepers and volunteers who risked their lives to save thousands of animals trapped in a zoo behind enemy lines during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

On February 24, 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, starting the worst war Europe has seen in over 50 years. In the early days of the invasion, some of the fiercest fighting was on the outskirts of Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second – largest city. On one side was the advancing Russian Army, on the other side the
defending Ukrainian Army. And in between them was a zoo… called Feldman Ecopark.
More than just a sanctuary for animals, Feldman Ecopark offered countless community programs from animal therapy to charity events for children with special needs. It was a cultural center for Kharkiv’s 1.4 million citizens, unfortunately positioned less than 30 kilometers from the Russian border. When the invasion started, Kharkiv turned into a battleground, and the staff was forced to flee Ecopark, leaving 5,000 animals trapped in between the Russian and Ukrainian frontlines. Both sides were firing on each other, and everything that fell short landed in Feldman Ecopark. But that wasn’t enough to stop several brave zookeepers from venturing back into the park time and time again to continue caring for the surviving animals. When two zookeepers were killed, four
volunteers appeared on Feldman’s doorstep, ready to help in any way they could.
As the war continued, and the shelling increased, it was clear that even the incredible bravery of the zoo staff wouldn’t be enough to save the animals. The zoo’s founder, Oleksandr Feldman, posted a desperate plea to social media asking for help. Miraculously, the post went viral, and zoos from across Ukraine and all of Europe volunteered to house the remaining animals.
Encouraged by the response, the zoo staff and these volunteers resolved to do the impossible – they would sneak back into Feldman Ecopark and evacuate thousands of animals, including many dangerous predators, and bring them to safety. In doing so, they put themselves in incredible danger, risking their lives to save innocent animals.
Working from footage captured by the zookeepers, volunteers, news media, and himself on his own trip to Ukraine, filmmaker Joshua Zeman tells the moving, suspenseful, and powerful story of these real – life heroes. The film details the initial attack, the efforts to continue tending to the trapped animals, the hair – raising evacuation, and tragically, the price these volunteers paid to do the right thing.
The zookeepers and volunteers of Checkpoint Zoo show us the absolute best of humanity at a time when it is all too easy to focus on the worst. In the face of violence, destruction, and cruelty, this film is a testament to the power of compassion, empathy, and sacrifice.
This program is supported, in part, by a grant from the Washington State Arts Commission.

Little Watts: The Zaniac
2025-11-02 14:00 - 15:00 | Gesa Power House Theatre, 111 North 6th Avenue, Walla Walla, WA, 99362, United States
On November 2nd at 2 PM, Gesa Power House Theatre proudly presents the family-friendly show, The Zaniac!
When was the last time you laughed as hard as your kids?
With captivating amounts of energy, Alex Zerbe moves like a rubber band from one end of the stage to the other. Beatboxing, juggling, dancing, singing, music and magic are just a few of the things that led Piers Morgan of America’s Got Talent to call Alex “the total package.”
The “Professional Zaniac,” whoʼs been cracking jokes onstage for almost 15 years, zigzags between physical stunts and non-stop comedy. During the show vegetables are sliced in half by flying playing cards, flaming torches and bowling balls are juggled with ease, and every audience volunteer leaves the stage in triumph.
A self-described “human cartoon,” his show isnʼt only for the kids in the family. “I try to make my show like the movie Shrek, super entertaining for the kids but there’s a whole other level of comedy for teens and adults,” says Zerbe. Formerly of the award-winning duo Brothers from Different Mothers, Zerbe is a Hacky Sack World Champion, was voted The Pacific Northwest’s Funniest Prop Comic and is currently ranked Seattle’s 3rd Best Air Guitarist. Heʼs performed everywhere from cruise ships and comedy clubs to prime-time television in three countries, including “Americaʼs Got Talent!” and “Last Comic Standing.”

Tickets ($12 for adults, $8 for children 12 and under) will be available on August 15th, either online or via the box office (509-529-6500). Want early access to tickets? Consider joining our +Power Club!

Women with Wings: WASP Pilots of Washington with Rebecca Hom
2025-11-05 19:00 - 20:30 | Gesa Power House Theatre, 111 North 6th Avenue, Walla Walla, WA, 99362, United States
On November 5th, 2025, at 7 PM, Gesa Power House Theatre is proud to present Women with Wings: WASP Pilots of Washington with Rebecca Hom. This presentation is sponsored in part by ArtsWA and the Greater Hermiston Community Foundation.
Between the two short years of 1942-1944, an amazing 25,000 women applied to fly planes for the US Army Airforce. Only 1 of 25 applicants made it through to the intensive training program. The 1,074 graduates became Women Airforce Service Pilots, the first women to fly US military planes: civilian pilots in an experimental Army Airforce program.
Washington State was home to more than twenty of those determined young women. This is a part of their exciting life stories.
This event will run 45-60 minutes, with a Q&A after the performance. Tickets ($15 for adults, $10 for students) will be available on August 15th, either online or via the box office (509-529-6500). Want early access to tickets? Consider joining our +Power Club!

The Last Class
2025-11-12 19:00 - 21:00 | Gesa Power House Theatre, 111 North 6th Avenue, Walla Walla, WA, 99362, United States
Gesa Power House Theatre proudly presents THE LAST CLASS on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, at 7PM.
The Last Class is a nuanced and deeply personal portrait of master educator Robert Reich teaching his final course and reflecting on a period of immense transformation, personally and globally. It is a love letter to education. The former Secretary of Labor might be famous for his public service, best – selling books, and viral social media posts, but he always considered teaching his true calling. Now, after over 40 years and an extraordinary 40,000 students, Reich is preparing for his last class.
Over the course of the film, Reich confronts the impending finality, and his own aging, with increasing candor, introspection, and, ultimately, emotion. He displays a rawness of feeling he has never shared publicly before. Drawing on his lifetime in politics, he uses his class, “Wealth and Poverty,” to offer us all a deeper look at why inequalities of income and wealth have widened significantly since the late 1970s, and why this poses dangerous risks to our society.
One thousand students fill the biggest lecture hall on the UC Berkeley campus, the last class to receive Reich’s wisdom and exhortations not to accept that the world has to stay the way it is. His belief in the next generation’s ability to take on the fight is inspiring.

The film stars Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba Thropp and Ariana Grande as Glinda Upland, with Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Bowen Yang, Marissa Bode, Peter Dinklage, Michelle Yeoh, and Jeff Goldblum in supporting roles.

Wisdom of Happiness
2025-12-03 19:00 - 21:00 | Gesa Power House Theatre, 111 North 6th Avenue, Walla Walla, WA, 99362, United States
Gesa Power House Theatre proudly presents WISDOM OF HAPPINESS on Wednesday, December 3, 2025, at 7PM.
WISDOM OF HAPPINESS is a deeply intimate and highly cinematic documentary featuring the Dalai Lama, who, at nearly 90 years old, offers practical advice for navigating the 21st century’s challenges. The film captures the Dalai Lama speaking directly to viewers, creating a sense of a private audience, and shares his timeless wisdom on achieving inner peace and happiness for everyone.
In what is likely to be the Dalai Lama’s last appearance in a film, the extraordinary collaboration between Barbara Miller, Philip Delaquis, Manuel Bauer, Oren Moverman and Richard Gere creates a remarkable and timely offering to viewers. The filmmakers weave captivating access with contemplative visuals and never-before-seen archival film to take viewers on a generous meditative climb- from the base of suffering to the peak of human intelligence where the view is simply transformational.
WISDOM OF HAPPINESS is an unforgettable, meditative experience for the 21st Century that not only unlocks a door to genuine, lasting happiness but reveals that each and every one of Earth’s 8 billion beings holds their very own key to it in the palm of their hand.
“WISDOM OF HAPPINESS is a very special film that we hope will have a profound effect on how we think and feel about ourselves and others with whom we share this beautiful planet.”
— Richard Gere, Executive Producer

Amelia Day and the Cloves

On Saturday, January 10, 2026 at 7PM, Gesa Power House Theatre welcomes Amelia Day and the Cloves! This program is supported, in part, by a grant from the Washington State Arts Commission. 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”.
