Gesa Power House Theatre presents a Power House Movie screening of the 2021 documentary Cat Daddies on Wednesday, July 20, 2022 at 7:00 p.m.
﻿
David Giovanni is living on the streets of New York, determined to stay together with his beloved cat Lucky. When he’s finally granted a spot in a transitional housing facility that accepts cats, the COVID-19 pandemic and a devastating medical diagnosis puts his future together with Lucky in doubt.
David’s journey is interspersed with portraits of eight other “cat dads” from all over the country and some who struggle to navigate the unprecedented events of 2020 with their little furry friends. They include a group of firefighters, a stunt man, a truck driver, a Bay Area tech worker, a schoolteacher whose cat becomes a viral sensation, and an actor/Instagram influencer. These men couldn’t be more different, but they share an unconditional love of their beloved pets. Cat Daddies is a refreshing and timely exploration of modern masculinity and the unlikely bond between man and cat.
Reserved seating tickets ($15 adults, $10 students) are available online or by calling the box office at 509-529-6500. This event will have a total runtime of about 90 minutes. Blue Mountain Humane Society will be on site to promote local pet adoption opportunities.

Pigs on the Wing: The Dark Side of the Moon
2022-11-11 19:00 - 21:00 | Gesa Power House Theatre, 111 North 6th Avenue, Walla Walla, WA, 99362, United States
Pink Floyd tribute band Pigs on the Wing will return to Walla Walla in concert at Gesa Power House Theatre on Friday, November 11, 2022 at 7:00 p.m.
Pigs on the Wing’s 2022-2023 tour will showcase a full performance of the Pink Floyd’s 1973 classic “The Dark Side of the Moon” album in honor of the 50th anniversary of its release. The concert will also include a full second set of Pink Floyd classics performed with all of the intensity and dedication to the music of Pink Floyd fans have come to expect from Pigs on the Wing – along with an immersive visual experience.

Portland, Oregon based Pigs on the Wing has on occasion been referred to as “the most punk rock of the Pink Floyd tributes” and that is a badge the band wears with unequivocal pride. None are bigger fans of the work of Pink Floyd than the members of Pigs on the Wing, and while the band approaches the material with the deepest respect for legacy of the music, they also chart a course suggesting a willingness to push the musical boundaries of a traditional tribute band.
Tracing its roots to a one-off performance in Portland in 2006, Pigs on the Wing has steadily developed a devoted regional fanbase and a reputation for delivering a high quality, high energy take on Pink Floyd’s music. All members of the band are seasoned veterans of the original Northwest rock scene and balance a decidedly un-tribute like attitude towards the music with a deep understanding of the precision and importance of Pink Floyd’s music in many fans’ lives.
The Pigs on the Wing band members are: Eric Welder (bass/vocals); Matt Jones (keys/vocals); Bryan Fairfield (drums); Dave Lindenbaum (guitar/vocals); Holly Brooks (vocals); Jason Baker (guitar/vocals); Matt Sulikowski (sax). This will be the band’s fourth concert at Gesa Power House Theatre in Walla Walla.
Reserved seating tickets ($45) are available online or by calling the Gesa Power House Theatre box office at 509-529-6500.

2022-11-15 19:00 - 22:00 | Gesa Power House Theatre, 111 North 6th Avenue, Walla Walla, WA, 99362, United States
Authentic Spanish flamenco performed live on stage “Alejandra” at the Gesa Power House Theatre on Tuesday, November 15th at 7:00pm, presented by the Spanish Consulate and Valdemar Estates.
A personal and intimate performance, “Alejandra” reverberates with flamenco themes developed by composer, José Almarcha, and expressed through dance by choreographer/dancer, Lucia Ruibal. The tour and music of Alejandra is a tribute to the mother of guitarist, José Almarcha, who hails from La Man-cha, Spain. The sudden and unexpected loss of his mother was instrumental in changing the way Mr. Almarcha composes and
interprets Flamenco.
FLAMENCO SPAIN Arts and Culture was born after the closure of the Casa Patas Foundation, which Begoña Fernández directed since 2006. Through FLAMENCO SPAIN Ms. Fernández continues to present a large variety of artists stage productions, workshops, and cultural activities throughout the world at public and private venues including theaters, and festivals. This treasured art form designated World Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO, in 2010, will continue to be disseminated under the trade name FECACE and FLAMENCO SPAIN Arts and Culture.
“Alejandra” is a live theatre event lasting approximately 75 minutes without intermission. There will be a complimentary post-show meet and greet, with wine and charcuterie, upstairs in the Electric Lounge for Valdemar Estates Club Members, starting at 9 PM.
Reserved seating tickets start at $40, and are available online or by calling the box office at 509-529-6500.

The Kingston Trio
2022-11-16 19:00 - 21:00 | Gesa Power House Theatre, 111 North 6th Avenue, Walla Walla, WA, 99362, United States
The Kingston Trio will perform an acoustic concert at Gesa Power House Theatre on Wednesday, November 16 at 7:00 p.m.

In 1957 The Kingston Trio emerged from San Francisco’s North Beach club scene to take the country by storm, bringing the rich tradition of American folk music into the mainstream for the first time. During the late 50s & early 60s, the Trio enjoyed unprecedented record sales and worldwide fame, while influencing the musical tastes of a generation.
Through changing times, the Trio has played on, remaining popular for a simple reason… great songs that sound as good today as the first time you heard them. And fifty-eight years after “Tom Dooley” shot to the top of the charts, the Trio is still on the road thirty weeks a year, bringing back all the great memories and making new ones.
All three current members of The Kingston Trio, Mike Marvin, Tim Gorelangton and Buddy Woodward, have intrinsic links to and experience with the original group: Mike is the adopted son of founding member Nick Reynolds, who was also his musical mentor; Tim, a close friend since boyhood, is one of the few musicians outside the Trio who has recorded with Nick Reynolds; and Buddy, a longtime friend of the Kingston Trio, was invited in 2002 to perform at their World Folk Music Association’s 45th Anniversary Tribute at the esteemed Birchmere in Alexandria, VA. Many of their personal memories recall the iconic trio’s performances and journey as folk music made its extraordinary ascent to the pinnacle of popular culture – and the top of the music charts.
Reserved seating tickets ($70-$45) are available online or by calling the Gesa Power House Theatre box office at 509-529-6500.

The Walla Walla Choral Society and its predecessors have delivered the gift of song to our community for more than 117 years. In late 2019, the Society’s Board completed a new strategic plan that included the creation of a new Children’s Chorus and plans to build enhanced collaborations and mutual support throughout our performing arts community. However, like so many organizations and businesses, the pandemic postponed and cancelled in-person rehearsals and concerts. Nevertheless, many of the Choral Society’s 60+ singers stayed connected throughout 2020 via video rehearsals. In-person rehearsals resumed cautiously in the fall of 2021 and have continued to the present.
The Choral Society, as a vital member of the vibrant local arts culture, has provided a special opportunity for community members, children’s choirs, and other arts organizations to perform with the Choral Society here at the Gesa Power House Theatre.
Gesa Power House Theatre is currently operating at full capacity but will continue to follow the most recent guidance from state and county Departments of Health. Current health and safety guidelines at Gesa Power House Theatre are available online or by calling the box office.

Mark Gatiss (Sherlock, Dracula, Doctor Who) stars as Jacob Marley in his own ‘Irresistibly theatrical’ (★★★★★ The Telegraph) retelling of Dickens’ classic winter ghost story, A Christmas Carol, alongside Nicholas Farrell (Chariots of Fire, The Crown, The Iron Lady) as Scrooge. This powerful tale of life, love, loss and redemption is as relevant today as when it was first published 179 years ago. A Nottingham Playhouse production, it was filmed live for cinemas during the 2021 stage run at London’s sumptuous Alexandra Palace Theatre and filled with Dickensian, spine-tingling special effects, prepare to be frightened and delighted in equal measure as you enter the supernatural Victorian world of A Christmas Carol: A Ghost Story on the big screen.
It’s a cold Christmas Eve and mean-spirited miser Ebenezer Scrooge (Nicholas Farrell) has an unexpected visit from the spirit of his former business partner Jacob Marley (Mark Gatiss). Bound in chains as punishment for a lifetime of greed, the unearthly figure explains it isn’t too late for Scrooge to change his miserly ways in order to escape the same fate, but first he’ll have to face three more eerie encounters…

A Celtic Christmas with EVERDREAM
2022-12-08 19:00 - 22:00, 2022-12-09 19:00 - 22:00 | Gesa Power House Theatre, 111 North 6th Avenue, Walla Walla, WA, 99362, United States
Gesa Power House Theatre presents A Celtic Christmas by EVERDREAM (formerly known as Affinití) on December 8 and 9, at 7PM.
Emer Barry (soprano), Mary McCague (violin) and Teresa O Donnell (harp), from Ireland, have consistently sold out their show at the Gesa Power House Theatre and so in 2022, will perform 2 nights, due to this exceptional demand in the past!
A Celtic Christmas will feature much loved Celtic and Christmas classics, including songs by Enya, music from Riverdance, some unique Irish Christmas songs, magical movie songs, toe tapping reels & jigs, their chart topping version of O Holy Night and of course, their now famous rendition of the Habanera, during which Emer embodies Carmen and gets up to all sorts of fun and frolics with the audience! Everdream will be joined by special guest, Howard Crosby who, along with his talented accompanist, Randy Kaping, will regale the audience with stories of his Uncle Bing and perform some of his most famous songs.
Emer, Mary and Teresa are masters of their instruments, and between them, have performed on stage and on television with some of the biggest name acts in the world, including Michael Bublé, Il Divo, Mike Batt, Rod Stewart and Katherine Jenkins. 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!
Formerly known as Affinití, the girls have been bringing their A Celtic Christmas show to American audiences since 2014 to great acclaim. Following their sell-out shows in 2019, their 2020 tour was all lined but then Covid struck, and like so many other international touring groups, their plans had to be halted. Because of the 2 year gap in their touring, Emer, Mary and Teresa are particularly excited to be returning to the Pacific NorthWest and felt that a fresh start warranted a new name, and so EVERDREAM was borne out of the pandemic!
Reserved seating tickets ($35) are available online or by calling the box office at 509-529-6500.
