Click Here For Some Sunny Day Cast List Theatre In The Quarter was launched with great success in September 2005 with the company's first sell-out production 'Some Sunny Day', an original musical piece drawn from the real stories of local people's experiences during the Second World War, both in conflict and on the Home Front. The story, produced by a team of professionals, was performed by a very talented group of 16-22 year olds, all of whom demonstrated a broad range of performance skills including acting, dancing, singing, playing instruments and devising.
The packed audiences at Chester’s Guildhall were enthralled by the performances of the young actors. In the interval the women in the audience were invited to dance with the soldiers, and the men were transported back sixty years when they danced with the young ladies of the 1940’s era.
