The Sunny Hours in Concert

Gesa Power House Theatre, Walla Walla, WA

April 25, 2026

Live Music Production of Songs from the Play

The first rain of notes from The Blue and Green Waltz, begins a vibrant musical journey: from lively swing melodies - to poignant ballads - to towering anthems as soaring and captivating as the Cascades themselves.

The music tells the story of a bright and determined high school girl in swing-era Seattle, Catherine, who plans a future that bucks the convention of her times.

As we follow Catherine from her gritty Seattle younger days, through her life’s twists, turns, challenges and triumphs, the expressive music, and rich visual backdrops, paint a vivid picture of her remarkable experiences…and brings Catherine’s uplifting character and resilience to life.

This is a charming story, based on real Washingtonians, and crafted by Washington State talent. The Book and Lyrics are by Tri-Cities native Eileen Voiland; music written by Seattle-based composers Nancy Erickson Lamont and Shawn Schlogel.

The concert was performed by Tri-Cities WA based Hannah Evans, Samantha Gustafson, Ted Miller, Jason Morgan, Julie Wiley and Adrienne Fletcher, most of whom originated roles in The Sunny Hours Tri-Cities premiere, and were thrilled to be on the Power House Theatre stage!
