Gesa Power House Theatre

Inverted Space Ensemble
2023-09-16 19:00 - 21:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Gesa Power House Theatre, 111 North 6th Avenue, Walla Walla, WA, 99362, United States
Common Tone Arts presents “Inverted Space Ensemble” at Gesa Power House Theatre on Saturday, September 16 at 7 p.m.
Seattle-based experimental chamber group the Inverted Space Ensemble is proud to present an evening of fresh works that showcase their unique range. The program will feature many works by the group’s performers. “One Star Reviews” by Luke Fitzpatrick and Jeff Bowen utilizes one star Yelp reviews for the text and uses the Adapted Viola and Intoning Voice combination created by Harry Partch. Melissa Wang’s graphic score piece “Your Turn–A Family Game” will be followed by Kerrith Livengood’s unique theatrical piece “Scrawl Etude.” “The Golden Harvest,” by Marcin Paczkowski, combines the beautiful sonorities of violin, piano, and percussion with the sensibilities of ChatGPT. All of this leads to the Black Lodge in Luke Fitzpatrick and Jeff Bowen’s arrangement of the music from Twin Peaks that features the use of microtonality and improvisation.
Common Tone Arts is a visionary organization that can provide the vehicle for introspection, conversation, and transcendence. In music, a Common Tone is used to help connect one distantly related chord or key to another. We believe that art is the bridge that can connect distantly related people and cultures together — that can bring us together in our shared aspirations, illuminate the human experience, and transcend our limitations.
Reserved seating tickets ($25 for adults, $20 for students) are available online or by calling the box office at 509-529-6500.

Vincent
2023-09-29 19:00 - 20:30 | Gesa Power House Theatre, 111 North 6th Avenue, Walla Walla, WA, 99362, United States
Gesa Power House Theatre presents two performances of Vincent on Friday, September 29, and Saturday, September 30, at 7 p.m.
Vincent is a one-man play written by Leonard Nimoy (Star Trek), directed by Paul Stein, and starring Jean-Michel Richaud, who has performed this show for more than five years on an international tour spanning three continents. The play is set just after the death of little-known painter Vincent Van Gogh, while rumors are flying in Paris. Some say he was a penniless madman, a frequenter of prostitutes and soon to be forgotten artist of trifling quality. Others denounce him as a wayward priest and a foreigner. Many whisper that he took his own life in a moment of insanity. His brother Theo (Richaud), Vincent’s confidante and lifelong supporter, takes the stage in a rented lecture hall to set the record straight.
﻿
Vincent opened in Los Angeles in 2012, where it enjoyed a 14-week sold-out run, moved to San Diego for a sold-out run in 2013, and then began touring the United States, including many more sold-out engagements. In 2015, the play had its French-language premiere in Paris, France, where it was nominated for Best Actor and Best Author awards at the Petits Molieres — the French equivalent of the Tony Awards for small theaters. Vincent has been touring internationally in English and French ever since. Vincent was also included in the North Bay Best of 2021 list.
Throughout the play, more than a hundred of Van Gogh’s paintings are projected on a framed screen, providing a rich overview of the artist’s work and visual complement to the story.

He has starred in many company productions and has appeared in numerous television and film roles, including What Just Happened with Robert De Niro, Bottle Shock opposite Alan Rickman, and Agent X opposite Sharon Stone. He is also one of the top European voice-over talents in Los Angeles and has dubbed more than 300 movies into French.
Reserved seating tickets ($30-$25 adults, $20 students) are available online or by calling the box office at 509-529-6500. The play runs about 75 minutes without intermission.

Chase Joliet's "Grapefruit"
2023-11-15 19:00 - 21:00 | Gesa Power House Theatre, 111 North 6th Avenue, Walla Walla, WA, 99362, United States
Gesa Power House Theatre presents Chase Joliet’s indie film Grapefruit, featuring actress Rosanna Arquette, as part of the Power House Movies Series, on Wednesday, November 15 at 7PM.
After a devastating divorce, Travis (Chase Joliet) is forced to move into his childhood home with his eccentric, newly sober mother (Rosanna Arquette). While attending an AA meeting with Evelyn, Travis meets the wildly alive Billie (Stephanie Barkley). Against his mother’s wishes, he develops a friendship with her, pushing everyone to look beyond their shortcomings and accept each other for who they are and where they’ve been.
Filmed by a 14-member crew in Tracy, Calif. over the course of 14 days, Grapefruit explores addiction, new beginnings, and the importance of community.
But according to the film’s director and lead actor Chase Joliet: “At its core, Grapefruit is about acceptance. Accepting our flaws and imperfections, our past and our present, and most importantly each other. My goal was to take the romantic comedy formula we all know so well and insert three flawed human beings desperately trying to let go and move on.”
About the Director: Chase Joliet is an actor and filmmaker from Dallas, Texas. He worked with legendary director Terrence Malick for a number of years on To the Wonder, Voyage of Time, and Song to Song after which he produced his first independent feature film KRISHA (A24) which won SXSW Grand Jury award and audience award, premiering at the CANNES Film Festival in 2016.
Chase won the John Cassavetes Award at the 2016 Indie Spirit awards and went on to help develop Trey Edward Shults’ second feature It Comes At Night (A24). Chase’s short film directorial debut is the comedic short Everything Mattress which won multiple audience awards and is currently being sold in European Territories.
“Grapefruit is my [feature-length] directorial debut, opposite my wildly talented wife, Stephanie Barkley. We made the movie over fourteen days with the help of friends and family… and a little known actress, Rosanna Arquette. I’m forever grateful for this experience and everyone who joined me along the way.”
Tickets ($15 Adults, $10 Students) are available online or by calling the box office at 509-529-6500.

Aside from their calibre as musicians, what also sets them apart from other groups is the ease with which they interact with their audiences. Irish charm, natural wit and banter are all combined in this trio, ensuring that audiences will feel fully engaged in the show. They are also incredibly glamorous, so prepare to be dazzled by their stunning dresses!
The ladies of Everdream have been bringing their A Celtic Christmas show to American audiences since 2014 to great acclaim. Following their sell-out shows in 2022, Emer, Mary and Teresa are particularly excited to be returning to the Pacific Northwest. These shows promise to be wonderful evenings for all the family, and historically, have always sold out. Advanced booking is advised!
Reserved seating tickets are $35 and are available online or by calling the box office at 509-529-6500.
