Cymphonique might not be a household name right now, but give her time; she’s got the makings of a superstar.

Sixteen-year-old Cymphonique Miller is the daughter of businessman, music mogul and philanthropist Percy Miller and sister of Romeo Miller. But she didn’t use her connections to get the starring role on Nickelodeon’s new live-action comedy series “How to Rock.”

Play deals with how to escape

“The Cage,” which first ran at the Stella Adler Theatre in Hollywood, has moved to Stage 52 at 5299 W. Washington Blvd. in Los Angeles. Written and produced singer–songwriter Audra A. Bryant, the play is the triumphant story of David, a young man sentenced to 16 years in prison for a violent crime.

According to the author, “The Cage” represents the obstacles in life all must face, whether created by society or self-imposed, and is designed to present a solution for escaping one’s own personal cage.
