Plot Summary for The Sunny Hours

Don’t miss this heart-warming, uplifting new original musical set in Seattle and Richland.

Based on a real person, the spirited red head Catherine, The Sunny Hours story is told through enchanting (and sometimes rollicking!) original Swing music and striking visuals.

Catherine’s story begins in Seattle during the time between the Wars. Prohibition and the Great Depression tinged everyday life. You’ll walk in her shoes through a neighborhood where you can see and hear History scrape up against Societal change. She overcomes adversity to attend college—unusual for a young woman of the era. The story unfolds from neighborhood, to city, to the 1940’s college campus, to an iconic hiking club…an inspired escape and sanctuary for the working class students. The Hiking Club is a trellis through which present day (101 year old) Catherine and her daughter go forward and backward in time, weaving in and out of the richness of memory...and the tensions of choice—the ones Catherine makes, versus the ones History makes for her.

Thoughtfully crafted to amplify the striking similarities of Catherine’s Century-long journey to that of our own 2020’s journey—Pandemics and all—you’ll feel, see and hear Catherine’s determination and resilience. The amazing visuals, poignant music and Catherine’s overcoming and uplifting nature will fill the theatre with warmth, and leave you with renewed inspiration to hold on to The Sunny Hours in life.
