Getting-through-April-hero-art
Her shame made her famous. Her strength made her revolutionary.

This bold musical adaptation of The Scarlet Letter tells the story of Hester Prynne as you’ve never seen her before. Branded by rigid Puritan society, she turns her scarlet letter into a badge of survival and a spark for rebellion.

ABOUT THE WRITERS
KENADY SEAN (Composer, Lyricist, Bookwriter) is passionate about collaboration. Her greatest strength is seeing the talent in others and bringing them to the table where their voice can be heard. Kenady is currently developing four musical projects: The Scarlet Letter Musical, Beyond Perfection, We Can Do It!, and The Birthmark. Beyond Perfection recently made its Off-Broadway debut in the Broadway Bound Theatre Festival at the AMT Theatre. The Scarlet Letter Musical recently had a concert at Green Room 42 produced by Musicalwriters.com and Broadway DNA. The Scarlet Letter Musical is also a SheNYC Festival semi-finalist in 2022 and a Moxie Incubator Finalist in 2023. The Birthmark was featured in Theatre Now’s Soundbites Festival in 2024. We Can Do It! was an award-winning festival participant of the 2023 National Women’s Theatre Festival. Beyond Perfection and The Scarlet Letter Musical have both had a workshop produced by or in conjunction with The Table Co/lab, now SheDFW. Kenady graduated with an MBA and a BS in Music Business from Dallas Baptist University where she received the Texas Business Hall of Fame Scholarship. She currently is the regional moderator of Texas for Maestra Music, and hopes to improve gender parity in the musical theatre business. She is also a graduate of Theatre Resource Unlimited’s Producer Mentor Program.
CHRISTINE HAND JONES (Composer, Lyricist, Bookwriter)  is a singer-songwriter, performer, and professor. Christine teaches writing at Southern Methodist University, and she holds a PhD in literary studies from the University of Texas at Dallas, which she earned largely by writing about the music and lyrics of Bob Dylan. Interested in the intersections of music and literature, her recent academic work has focused on Bob Dylan, Dolly Parton, The Band, and Paul Simon. When she’s not in the classroom, Christine brings her dual literary and musical background into her work as the co-writer of The Scarlet Letter Musical, and her musical settings of Shakespeare’s lyrics have been featured in several productions of Much Ado About Nothing, As You Like Itand Love’s Labour’s LostAs a singer-songwriter, Christine’s soulful folk-rock has been a mainstay of the Dallas-Fort Worth live music scene for over 20 years. Her most recent album, Standing on the Shoulders, is a tribute to family in all its messy beauty, and it wraps its intimate story-telling in a combination of bluegrass instrumentation, lush strings and ethereal vocals.
