2026-06-17 19:00 - 21:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | WA
On June 17th, 2026, at 7PM, Gesa Power House Theatre proudly presents All My Sons, filmed live from the West End.
Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) and Marianne Jean-Baptiste (Hard Truths) feature in a five-star, triumphantly acclaimed new production of Arthur Miller’s classic play, from visionary director Ivo Van Hove (A View from the Bridge).
One family, the heart of the American dream. When wartime delivers profits for Joe, it comes at a price when his partner is charged with criminal manufacturing deals, and his eldest son goes missing in action. Will peacetime bring peace of mind, or will he be confronted by the consequence of his actions?
Paapa Essiedu (I May Destroy You), Tom Glynn-Carney (House of the Dragon), and Hayley Squires (I, Daniel Blake) also feature in this disturbingly prescient play.

Disney’s classic, Aladdin, tells the story of a kind-hearted street thief named Aladdin who struggles to survive in the city of Agrabah. His life changes when he meets Princess Jasmine, who longs to escape the constraints of royal life. After being tricked by the power-hungry sorcerer Jafar into retrieving a magical lamp from the Cave of Wonders, Aladdin discovers a Genie who can grant him three wishes. Hoping to win Jasmine’s heart, he uses his wishes to disguise himself as a wealthy prince.
As Aladdin navigates his new identity, he must also outwit Jafar, who seeks the lamp’s power for himself. Ultimately, Aladdin learns the importance of honesty and staying true to who he is, using his final wish to free the Genie rather than for personal gain. The story celebrates love, friendship, and the courage to be yourself.

Lakeya Afolalu lives in Seattle, and is an assistant professor of language, literacy, and culture at the University of Washington. A Nigerian and African American scholar and leader, her work explores immigrant and transnational youth identities through literacy, language, and the arts. She has a PhD from the University of Texas at Austin.

Drew, Jack, and Korum are three teachers who make kid’s music that grows out of their days in their classrooms. They continue to be praised across the country for singable, danceable songs that parents enjoy as much as their kids.
Praised by People, Time, USA Today, The New York Times, and NPR for their pitch-perfect understanding of what gets kids excited, Recess Monkey is known for prolific album output, high-energy shows, and laugh-out-loud funny lyrics that capture the essence of being young. They drink a lot of coffee.
Mindy Thomas from SiriusXM’s Kids Place Live says, “These guys are able to tap into elementary school so well that it’s like they never left. In this never-ending nationwide talent show of kid and family music, they are most definitely at the top.”
Says Stefan Shepherd of Zooglobble.com, “Recess Monkey just keeps turning out album after album with pop nuggets, as if we’d just discovered that the Beatles had recorded a ton of kids music 40+ years ago.”
Recess Monkey has earned dozens of awards over its twelve year history. Their 2016 Amazon Original Family album “Novelites” was nominated for a GRAMMY Award for Best Children’s Album. Time Out New York recently named them the #3 Kindie band in America behind the iconic They Might Be Giants and gifted Chicago kid-tunester Justin Roberts.
Known for prolific, eclectic musical output and their contagiously exciting live shows, Recess Monkey strives to strike a balance between kid-centric ideas and musical authenticity. Lyrically, they weave jokes and puns together with universal childhood themes, speaking to both kids and their parents simultaneously with catchy, melodic songs. Seamlessly meshing their indie-rock roots with their keen awareness of childhood themes, the band continues to make waves coast to coast.
