Event description
Written and Directed by Wesley Enoch
Music by John Rodgers
Set in 1946, the joyful and acclaimed musical, The Sunshine Club, tells the story of Aboriginal soldier Frank Doyle. Returning home to Brisbane after serving in WW2, he finds that, while the world may have changed, the same attitudes and prejudices still exist at home.
Filled with a defiant energy and ambition for a better life, Frank starts The Sunshine Club - a place where all people are welcome to come together, laugh, romance and dance the night away. Here he dreams of a future where he can dance in step with Rose, the girl next door, the girl of his dreams.
The award-winning Sunshine Club is a thought provoking, vibrant and above all joyful night of theatre and music, featuring a talented cast of 10, including emerging and established First Nations artists, and a 5-piece live band.
“The openness and joy radiating from The Sunshine Club is certain to make your spirits soar.” Sydney Morning Herald
