The movie opens in Brooklyn in 1960 with a young boy who would rather be playing with his friends, but is forced to take trumpet lessons from his mother. A sudden flash forward brings it into present day with that same boy as a successful player, Bleek Gillian (Grover Washington).

Typecasting

Typecasting is an hour long one act play where theatre and dance interweave to tell the story of Rosita, a girl form Central America and her first day at school in Prince Edward Island. A strong cast of young Islanders is showcased in this original and dynamic play designed to raise awareness of the immigrant experience on PEI. Typecasting has been developed by Julie Sauve and Laurel Smyth. These two Island artists have been involved in the performing arts on PEI for many years, teaching as well as appearing with the Charlottetown Festival, Theatre PEI, Dance Umbrella, Victoria Playhouse and Montage Dance Theatre.
