These Familiar Spirits

Music by Julia Meinwald
Full-length musical
7 women (and one child?)

When their old friend Ann Putnam, Jr. passes away, Elizabeth Hubbard, Mercy Lewis, Betty Parris, and Mary Walcott return to Salem Village as adults to attend her funeral. Overseen by Ann and her fellow spirits Mary Warren and Abigail Williams, the women contend for the first time with what they did (and what was done to them) in their shared childhood.

Commissioned by Flint Repertory Theatre.
