Conversation with Kira Stone, composer/writer of "Salem"

Broadway ReFocused is in conversation with Kira Stone, composer and writer of the new musical, Salem. Salem is a tale about a sisterhood of accused witches & their accusers from the 1692 Salem Witch Trials as they are held hostage in a modern courtroom. Stone asks the important questions: How did this happen? Why did it happen? And could this happen again? With the songs all set to dark pop melodies & 808 beats, Salem is telling the real story of Kira’s 6th great-grandmother. We learn all about this connection to family history, where Salem is at in its development process and Stone’s dreams for the piece in the future. We also listen to her pop anthem “I Believe”. You can learn more about Kira Stone and Salem on her website: www.kirabethstone.com and on IG: @kirabethstone.
