Outlandish conspiracy theories, misinformation spreading like wildfire, and an infamously controversial trial; yep, this is 17th century New England. SALEM is a dark musical comedy that follows Puritan teenager Abby Williams as she plants accusations of witchcraft in an attempt to con her way out of the oppressive, theocratic village of Salem, Massachusetts. After pushing the limits of townie gossip, she find herself centered in a web of witchy conspiracies more intricate than she ever could’ve imagined.
