Evil Dead: The Musical
Friday, April 11 - 7:00 p.m.
Saturday, April 12 - 6:00 p.m.
"Evil Dead: The Musical" is a hilarious stage musical that takes all the elements of the cult classic films, Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness then combines them to make one of the craziest theatrical experiences of all time!
Five college students go to an abandoned cabin in the woods and accidentally unleash an evil force that turns them into demons. It's all up to Ash, an S-Mart employee, armed with his trusty chainsaw hand and double barreled Remington shotgun to save the day. Blood flies...limbs dismember...demons tell bad jokes..all set to music.
The show is famous for its liberal use of stage blood. In fact, for those audience members who are looking for a more immersive experience, several rows of the Gesa Power House Theatre will be designated as “Splatter Zone” seats. Dress accordingly (might we suggest something white?).
Both Splatter Zone ($34) and Non-Splatter Zone ($29) tickets are available for purchase online at www.EvilDeadNW.com.

The Great Kaplan
Thursday, April 10 at 6 p.m.
Illusion, music, juggling and deadpan comedy collide in this hilarious vaudevillesque spectacle. David Kaplan plays "the Great Kaplan", a earnest vaudeville performer, who while just trying to do a good show, inexplicably gets caught in the crosshairs of the universe. Murphy's Law according to Rube Goldberg. As his world seemingly crumbles, he manages to tame a rogue bowling ball, juggle furniture, perform feats of prestidigitation, and play melodies on concert balloon, turkey baster and his great grandfather's ukulele, -- all to the delight of a charmed audience.
Notable shows include a recent month long run at the Wintergarten Variete' in Berlin and network television appearances on ABC TV's "The View", "The Statler Brothers Show" on TNN and "Le Plus Grand Cabaret du Monde" in Paris. David Kaplan has headlined internationally and has shared stages with renowned performers including Steven Wright, Leon Redbone, David Spade, David Brenner, Harry Blackstone Jr., and the Smothers Brothers. Kaplan has won numerous awards including the coveted International Brotherhood of Magicians "Peoples Choice" award, and in 2010 he received the prestigious "Mandrake d'Or" in Paris.

This show is the second in the Adventist Health Little Watt's Children's Series of Family Entertainment at the Gesa Power House Theatre. The next show will be "Harmonica Pocket" on August 2.
