Just Play It  is different from conventional theater – it accomplishes dramatic effect through music and dialogue. “Three people with two pianos” – Ismene Ting led the two classical pianists to create a brand new production, Just Play It. The play is not just about playing the piano; featuring music from classical to contemporary to independent Chinese culture to Western culture and includes both the past and present, it all begins with a music class. The humorous conversations between the teacher and the student connect classical music, the blues, pop music and something more.

 

With amazing projections and flowing music, the play transcends the conventional form of theater through discussions about classical music, the blues and pop music. Bringing a whole new experience, Just Play It  juxtaposes many kinds of performing arts and transcends the form of a regular piano concerto.

 

An enthusiastic American pianist and a blind piano genius; Two pianos and five chorus angels; Humorous conversations, hilarious performances and love.
