Saturday, June 27, 2015, The Seattle Seachordsmen and Guests performed a "Sleepless In Seattle themed concert at the Shorecrest Performing Arts Theater.

The setting for the show: Sam Baldwin (Jon Ross) is working in Chicago after the loss of his wife. His son Jonah (Felix Halvorson) is in Seattle. Sam returns to Seattle and while he and Jonah are talking, Jonah convinces Sam to call Dr. Frasier Crane's radio show for advice. Dr. Crane suggests that Sam go to a meeting of The Seattle Seachordsmen, as involvement with the group will help him with his grief.

Sam goes to a meeting and decides to sing with the group. As a newbie he is given the music sheets.

Sam and Jacob discuss a job offer Sam has just received which would mean leaving Seattle and a big raise and decide to stay in Seattle and continue singing with the Seachordsmen.

Intermission in the story line while the Seattle Shores Chorus sings "Jeepers Creepers" and dancers do a little Jive.

Romance blooms! Sam meets Annie Ryan at a Seattle Seachordsmen rehearsal and gets a date.

He takes her to the local coffee shop where they are serenaded by The Freshly Brewed Quartet.

All ends happily as Sam gets the girl, his son, Seattle - and a good cup of coffee!
