The Sunshine Club
A ground-breaking First Nations musical and instant classic when it premiered in 1999, The Sunshine Club is a gloriously energetic, thought-provoking and entertaining night of theatre.
It’s 1946 and the war is finally over. Aboriginal soldier Frank Doyle has spent years fighting shoulder-to-shoulder with troops from all over Australia. War-weary and ready for a happy life of simple pleasures like music, love and dance, Frank sets out to change things for the better by setting up The Sunshine Club, a place where everyone can come together, laugh and, most importantly, where he can dance with Rose, the beautiful girl next door.
The Sunshine Club harnesses the innate optimism of musical theatre to create an unmissable love story between two young people, and a love letter to a future nation.
