Playing From the Heart - Trailer

Playing From the Heart is a new film of the stage play by Charles Way. Running 70 minutes and featuring the original cast of Imagination Stage's hit 2008 theatre production, this triumphant drama is inspired by the life of internationally acclaimed percussionist Evelyn Glennie. Evelyn begins having earaches at age 8, but even as her hearing worsens, her love of playing drums grows. Although she is eventually pronounced profoundly deaf, she excels in the school orchestra and, with unshakeable determination, applies and is accepted by the Royal Academy of Music. The story is a tribute to all kids, whatever their circumstances, who find the inner strength to overcome all obstacles and pursue their passions.

This play, a blockbuster hit at Imagination Stage this past fall/winter, has been made into a video by Imagination Stages Digital Media Department.

The content of this video was developed in part through funding provided by VSA arts under an award from the U.S. Department of Education. However, the content does not necessarily reflect the policy of the U.S. Department of Education and endorsement should not be assumed.

A captioned version of the trailer will be available shortly.
