Gesa Power House Theatre proudly presents a live cinema screening of OTHELLO on Wednesday, March 11 at 7PM, and Sunday, March 15 at 2PM. This program is supported in part by Lisa Anderson & Stephanie Whitaker, and by a grant from the ArtsWA.

Shakespeare’s OTHELLO rages to life like never before in a ‘compelling’ (★★★★ Telegraph) new production starring David Harewood OBE (Homeland, Best of Enemies), Toby Jones OBE (Mr Bates vs the Post Office, Detectorists), Caitlin FitzGerald (Succession, Masters of Sex), Vinette Robinson (Boiling Point) and Luke Treadaway (A Street Cat Named Bob).

Directed by Tony Award-winner Tom Morris OBE (War Horse, Dr Semmelweis, The Grinning Man) with music by PJ Harvey, this epic story of manipulation, jealousy and toxic masculinity explores the darker side of power, rage and desire. Filmed live at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in London especially for the big screen, this is ‘an electrifying star-studded Othello.’ (★★★★ Mail on Sunday).

Northwest Sinfonietta brings the wonders of the great outdoors inside the concert hall with Sky & Stone. This innovative and collaborative program opens with a newly commissioned piece by NWS clarinetist Angelique Poteat inspired by the famous Chuckanut Formation near Bellingham, Washington. Next we transform the hall into the bogs and frozen tundra of the Arctic with Rautavaara’s concerto for birdsong and orchestra, Cantus Arcticus. Beethoven’s pastoral Symphony No. 6 concludes the concert with its bubbling brook, thunder storm and joyful country gathering. Northwest Sinfonietta is partnering with Tacoma Tree Foundation, Tahoma Bird Alliance, NW Geological Society, Spaceworks Tacoma and Tacoma Youth Symphony for this performance.

In a cultural landscape filled with endless pundits and talking heads, Fran Lebowitz stands out as one of our most insightful social commentators.

Her essays and interviews offer her acerbic views on current events and the media – as well as pet peeves including tourists, baggage-claim areas, after-shave lotion, adults who roller skate, children who speak French, or anyone who is unduly tan. The New York Times Book Review calls Lebowitz an “important humorist in the classic tradition.” Purveyor of urban cool, Lebowitz is a cultural satirist whom many call the heir to Dorothy Parker.
