(NETCONG, NJ) -- The Growing Stage: The Children's Theatre of New Jersey is presenting the world premiere of Her Beautiful Sound by Cris Eli Blak weekends from March 28 - April 6, 2025.  It tells the story about a family of three women who hold each other up, see each other, and remind each other of the power within their spirits. Photographer John Posada was on hand to take photos.

The show’s overall message is that your voice matters, your story matters, and using creativity  – whether it be hip hop, poetry, dance, or whatever you choose – can help you heal and help you realize your strength and the strength of those around you.  This production is recommended for ages 9 through adult. 

The play was the winner of Growing Stage's 2024 New Play-Reading Festival.

Her Beautiful Sound features a professional company of artists including Brianna Martinez (Goosebumps, Maddie & Eleanor) of Belleville, NJ as Nina; Lisa Marie Burgos (Carmela Full of Wishes, The Hardy Boys) of Elizabeth, NJ as Carla; Belinda Diaz-Perez (Maddie & Eleanor) of Jersey City, NJ as Linda; Kyle Javon (Catching The Moon) of New Brunswick, NJ as Huey and Nyasia (TGS Debut) of Rockaway, NJ as Jace. It is directed by Danny Campos, TGS Veteran Artist and Director of Marketing.

This production runs March 28 - April 6 with performances on Saturdays at 4:00pm, Sundays at 2:00pm and a special opening night performance on March 28th at 7:30pm.
