Dreams can come true, especially if you are a determined young girl like Evelyn Glennie& Growing up on her family's farm in Aberdeen, Scotland, with her loving parents and playful brothers, life is good for 8 year old Evelyn. Things change when Evelyn begins losing her hearing. Evelyn wishes she could become a musician, but because of her deafness she is discouraged from chasing the seemingly impossible dream. Because of Evelyn's strong will, her love of music, and the support of a few faithful people, she overcomes the incredible odds. She proves that being deaf doesn't preclude you from being a musician and a great one at that. This original production is based on the true story of world-renowned solo-percussionist Evelyn Glennie's childhood. It includes a brief look at London and an interview with Evelyn Glennie.
