Beyond the Glass playing at Gesa Power House Theater

WALLA WALLA—Gesa Power House Theatre presents a screening of the local documentary film Beyond the Glass on Friday, May 7 at 7:00 p.m. with an encore screening on Wednesday, May 12 at 7:00 p.m. Each screening will be followed by an exclusive pre-recorded conversation between Director of Film Programming Warren Etheredge and the filmmakers.

Beyond the Glass was produced by Whitman College graduate Jackson Clough about local residents Rick and Mosseta Brown, who operate a local boxing club for at-risk youth in the area. When Rick Brown emerged from decades of drug addiction and run-ins with the law, he was determined to forge a new path forward as a man of faith and as a productive citizen. He and his wife opened Rick’s Boxing Club in College Place, where they strive to give kids an alternative to getting involved with drugs and gangs.

Rick’s Boxing Club offers free memberships to students ages 8 through college as long as they maintain at least a “C” average in their school classes and agree to perform some community service projects.

General admission tickets ($15 Adults, $10 Students) are available online at http://www.phtww.org or by calling the box office at 509-529-6500. The weekly film series highlights films that might not otherwise be seen in Walla Walla.

Seating for each screening is capped at 100 patrons, as allowed under Phases 2 and 3 of Washington’s Safe Start Plan. Additional precautions including required mask use and physical distancing between households will be observed.
