• Wallowa Valley Festival of the Arts

  • Start
    11 Sep 2021
  • End
    19 Sep 2021

  The Wallowa Valley is truly a special spot on the map.  Our breathtaking scenery captivates the heart, piques the imagination, and has a knack for unleashing the artist within us all.  It’s not by coincidence, that this beloved corner of Oregon is renowned for its vibrant community of artists, its exquisite galleries, its numerous bronze foundries, and its “WOW-inducing” Main Street art installations.  Whether you’re a local artist who has lived here most of your life, or you’ve never ventured quite this far out to the “End of the Road”, we encourage you to come and let yourself experience, anew, how this place will enchant and inspire you.  And, while you’re at it, be sure to step out and play a bit…take advantage of the myriad outdoor recreation opportunities this area has to offer.  And, what better time to explore Joseph and the Wallowas, than during colorfully placid September?! Some have even taken to calling it our fifth season – our “Season of Art”.

• Don Reed in “East 14th”

    7:00 PM

  

  Northwest Public Broadcasting and Gesa Power House Theatre present actor-comedian Don Reed in his critically-acclaimed one-man show East 14th on Saturday, September 25, 2021 at 7:00 p.m.

  Growing up in Oakland, California, Don Reed’s mother and stepfather raised him to be a middle-class, straight-A, God-fearing church boy, but Don Reed wanted to be like his biological father. Too bad he didn’t know that dear old dad was an actual pimp.

  “Hilarious!”
  – The New Yorker

  “Unexpectedly touching.”
  – San Francisco Chronicle

  Don Reed has written, performed, directed, and produced five solo shows in New York City, San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, and Los Angeles. His flagship show East 14th was so popular in Berkeley, it was extended 22 times, and spurred the opening of a second Marsh theater, where it ran for an additional 18 months. The show earned Reed the 2016 TBA: Theater Bay Area Award for Outstanding Production of a Solo Show and an NAACP Double Nominee for Best Actor & Best Playwright, and in 2016, he won the Performance of the Year award on NPR’s “Snap Judgement” with an excerpt from East 14th titled “I Miss Toni.”

  “Nobody does what Don Reed does. The Brother is quite simply amazing, versatile & hilarious.”
  – Academy Award Winner Jamie Foxx

  Don Reed is currently playing one of the lead roles in the Amazon Prime comedy series Bartlett, co-financed and with recurring role by Lin Manuel Miranda – composer/creator of the Broadway smash Hamilton. Reed is also currently producing Robert Townsend’s solo tour de force Living the Shuffle.

  Don Reed’s memorable performance on an HBO Partners and Crime special of up-and-coming comedians years ago caught the attention of Hollywood and led to many recurring and guest starring roles. You may have heard his voice on: Spiderman, Johnny Quest, SNL, and most recently as the voice of the cat on 2 Broke Girls. Additionally, Don has written, directed, produced and starred in short films for HBO Shorts, and can be seen on Netflix in the feature film Unleashed alongside stars from Showtime’s Shameless. Reed was the opening act/warm-up comedian for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno for more than 1,000 episodes, and recently shared an excerpt story from East 14th – on NPR/WYNC’s Snap Judgment so compelling that it will be woven into the graduate writing curriculum at American University in Washington D.C.

  Reserved seating tickets ($40) are available online or by calling the box office at 509-529-6500.

• Pigs on the Wing – A Tribute to Pink Floyd: Wish You Were Here 2021

  • When
    23 Oct 2021
  •  
    7:30 PM

  

  Pink Floyd tribute band Pigs on the Wing return to Gesa Power House Theatre on their “Wish You Were Here” concert tour on Saturday, October 23 at 7:30 p.m.

  
  Close your eyes and imagine having the opportunity to experience the soaring majesty of Pink Floyd’s music in an intimate venue. That is the Pigs on the Wing experience: a melding of the epic, arena scale of Pink Floyd with the visceral experience of being front row at a rock club.

  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 fanbase and a reputation for delivering a high quality, high energy take on Pink Floyd’s music, steeped in the NW’s own rich musical heritage.

  All members of the band are seasoned veterans of the original NW 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 result is a sound and experience both refreshing in delivery and yet true to the original – something the band believes sets it apart from other Pink Floyd tributes.

  Pigs on the Wing’s 2021-2022 feature show is a full album performance of Pink Floyd’s 1975 psychedelic masterpiece Wish You Were Here, followed by a full second set of carefully curated Roger Waters era Floyd.

  Reserved seating ticket ($25) will go on sale on July 8, 2021!

  “The Matt Baker Comedy + Stunt Show” returns to Gesa Power House Theatre on Saturday, November 6, 2021 at 7:00 p.m.

  “A stand up comedian with unbelievable skills.”
  -The Oregonian

  Voted Seattle’s Alternative Comic, Matt Baker is a three-time Guinness World Record holder and has performed his comedy stunt show around the world. He has appeared on numerous television shows including The Late Late Show with James Corden, Last Comic Standing, Tosh.0 and America’s Got Talent, where Sharon Osbourne called him “Hilarious” and Piers Morgan described him as, “the total package!”

The comedy never stops even when performing stunts like spearing vegetables in mid air, spitting ping-pong balls at volunteers or catching a bowling ball on his head. His hilarious onstage banter gives the feel of a stand-up comedy show, but with a little something more.

  Throughout his show Matt shares his unique comic perspective on things like; the advantages of traveling light, outdated slang, unexpected uses of technology, things not to say to women, and the proper way to floss your teeth. He has made people laugh in over 17 countries, had Presidential candidates cracking up and has shared his humor with U.S troops overseas.

  Matt Baker last performed at Gesa Power House Theatre in 2015.

  Reserved seating tickets ($30 adults, $20 youth under 18) are available online or by calling the box office at 509-529-6500.
