The Sunny Hours in Concert
The Gesa Power House Theatre, Walla Walla, WA
April 25, 2026
Production Performers
This production will be performed by members of The Sunny Hours Premiere cast. Based in the Tri-Cities, WA, they are all very excited to take The Sunny Hours music to their neighbors in Walla Walla.
With the first rain of notes from The Blue and Green Waltz, you’ll be whisked along on 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 will be performed by Tri-Cities WA based group Hannah Evans, Samantha Gustafson, Ted Miller, Jason Morgan and Julie Wiley, all of whom originated roles in The Sunny Hours Tri-Cities premiere, and can't wait to be on the Gesa stage!
