She Sings From Her Soul: A Candlelit Christmas

For over 17 years, Acting Out Newburyport has produced original plays that feature adult performers and also provide a creative and supportive environment for students of all ages. This year they are co-producing with Kimm Wilkinson of Redhead Productions, past Executive Director of the Actors Studio in Salisbury.

In 2022 Deirdre and John Budzyna approached Ms. Wilkinson with the idea of putting together a fundraiser for the Actors Studio in Salisbury, MA which would include local young women(ages 18-28) and additional singers from the Performing Project in Lawrence MA. which was founded by Maggie Budzyna in 2011, when she was only to years of age, with the goal to provide students of sister cities with opportunities to participate in the performing arts.

The fundraiser was such a huge success due to the talented voices that came together. Dee and Kimm talked and wanted to continue working with these talented singers so they approached five young women from the performance and an additional singer from Marblehead, and thus, the singing group, She Sings From Her Soul (SSFHS) was born. Performing twice a year these extraordinary and talented voices have degrees from prestigious colleges, teach voice and acting classes, and a few work as educators in music.

SSFHS perform twice a year, once in summer and a winter holiday show. This past June they performed to full houses and standing ovations, singing tunes from the 1970’s at a beautiful private studio in Newbury, MA.

The success of SSFHS is the intimate friendships these young women have had with one another for years, and even lifetimes. They effortlessly navigate the complex harmonies, delivering a truly captivating and emotional performance. They are keenly aware of their voices and how they complement one another.

Nothing will put you in the Holiday spirit more than listening to these glorious voices sing your favorite Holiday Classics and Pop tunes in jaw dropping solos and stunning harmonies.

SSFHS has grown over the past year with a core group of nine singers. This holiday show will showcase the voices of Ella Faria of Newbury, Janie Zaniboni of Newburyport, Liz Solange of Marblehead, Jenevieve Young of Lawrence and Jade April of . Stephen Faria, singer, teacher and musician is the musical director for this show.
