ATLANTA, GA, January 09, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Brown Girls Rising, the acclaimed child-led stage production written by 7-time NAACP Award-winning writer Dr. Kinnik Sky, returns to Atlanta January 30, January 31, and February 1, ushering in Black History Month in the city widely known as the Black Mecca. Praised by casting directors and film producers as "pure magic," "beautiful," and "far more powerful than expected from a child-led production," the show has emerged as a timely cultural moment for families and communities.

Brown Girls Rising is a moving theatrical experience that centers the emotional journeys of young Black girls as they discover their voices, challenge expectations, and step confidently into who they are becoming. Through honest performances and authentic storytelling, the production creates space for vulnerability, joy, and self-definition while offering an inspiring experience for audiences of all ages.

Originally conceived as an industry showcase, Brown Girls Rising quickly evolved after its debut when audience and industry response proved overwhelming. Prominent casting director Leslie M. Green called the experience "pure magic," while film producer Errol Sadler described the show as beautiful and deeply impactful. Atlanta-based casting director George Pierre noted that although each performer was unique, they were powerfully connected through one shared purpose, making audiences "feel something real."

The production features choreography by Atlanta-based creative visionary Dwight Holt Jr., whose emotionally driven movement work adds depth and power to the storytelling. Holt Jr. is the creator of the globally recognized movement Dance Your Pounds Off and has received national attention through appearances on Ellen, The Real, Essence Magazine, and Tamron Hall.

Dr. Kinnik Sky is an award-winning writer, producer, director, actress, and acclaimed acting coach whose stage productions have earned 11 NAACP Theatre Award nominations and 7 wins. She has also served as a trusted on-set acting coach for Disney and ABC and is widely known in Hollywood as "The Child Whisperer."

Brown Girls Rising returns to Atlanta as a powerful way to open Black History Month—inviting audiences to witness the brilliance, vulnerability, and becoming of Black girls through live theatre.
