Comedy: Kira Soltanovich

Kira Soltanovich is a comedian, actress, and writer best known for her correspondent work on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno for almost 9 years. She was the Phony Photo Booth, which turned into the show’s longest-running comedy piece. (that didn’t have Jay in it). Kira teams up with Jay Leno again in the You Bet Your Life game show reboot, which is now in syndication on FOX.

Kira has a half-hour stand-up special on Showtime called Here Comes Trouble and a one-hour stand-up special on Amazon called You Did This To Me. She’s the sidekick to host Donald Faison on the Netflix game show Winsanity, and she’s been a recurring comedian on several FOX television shows: Punchline and The Drama. Kira was a series regular on two seasons of TruTV’s How To Be A Grownup and also shot two seasons of the Facebook series The Turndown, which was shot exclusively in a bed.

Many fans remember her from the hidden camera show Girls Behaving Badly, where she was a series regular for 4 seasons. Kira has been featured on Comedy Central, NBC’s Last Comic Standing, Nickelodeon, and several Disney shows, and one of her most unique claim-to-fame moments came when Hell’s Kitchen made her the “prize” for the winning team of chefs who got a night out at The Laugh Factory on the Sunset Strip.

Kira was born in the former Soviet Union, traded for grains from the United States, and immigrated to America when she was two. Kira honed her comedy chops throughout grade school and until high school graduation. It’s incredible how telling an angry principal a few jokes can get you out of serious trouble.

Community Event: Honoring Women Peacebuilders in Africa and Beyond

Richard Middleton-Kaplan is the director of Academic Support Services at Whitman College. In 2011, Richard spent a sabbatical at the Centre for Applied Human Rights at the University of York, helping to develop a literature and human rights course. His publications include “Using Literature to Teach Peace” in Peace Research: The Canadian Journal of Peace and Conflict Studies.

What makes women’s peacebuilding movements so effective—often more effective than larger-scale national and international initiatives? Why is the work of women peacebuilders less well-known and celebrated than their male counterparts? Is the collective nature of women’s peacemaking work a reason it’s both effective and underappreciated? 

In this talk, meet peacebuilders beyond the usual names like Mother Theresa and Jane Addams and gain an appreciation for the collective nature of women’s peacebuilding activities. Glimpse the more peaceful horizon that could dawn if we inspired and supported women’s peacebuilding collectives.

Evensong on the campus of Walla Walla University began in 1962 and takes place about eight times per year. Two teachers, professor of music Melvin K. West (organist) and professor of communications Loren Dickinson (reader), wanted to shape a service to mark the end of the Sabbath. Because of this, the service changes time throughout the year to coincide with sunset.

The meditative alternation of readings and music they created is beautiful, thoughtful, and unrelated to the Anglican service of the same name.

Choral performance: A John Rutter Christmas

Whether you’re a lifelong choral enthusiast or new to the genre, “A John Rutter Christmas” offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the beauty of live music, surrounded by a community of fellow music lovers. With soaring harmony, piano, strings, brass, and organ, this concert will surely delight the whole family.

The program will include numerous carols written by Sir John Rutter, an internationally recognized English composer, and will feature his Gloria as the concert’s centerpiece. Choir students from Sharpstein Elementary School will join the WWCS singers for part of the concert.

The Gloria, commissioned by the Voices of Mel Olson, a choir from Omaha, Nebraska, was written in 1974. The piece is structured into three movements, each corresponding to a section of the Latin text of the Roman Catholic liturgy’s Ordinary of the Mass: proclamatory, prayerful, and joyfully affirmative. Rutter based the melody of his piece on a Gregorian chant associated with the text. The piece is scored for choir, strings, brass, percussion, and organ. The music is simple and direct in style, with the instrumentalists playing an important role as equal partners with the voices.
