Exclusive Interview: Cece King of ‘Redemption Song’
BSB Insider sat down with writer, director, and performer Cece King to discuss her new original play, Redemption Song, premiering at The Broadwater Second Stage as part of the Hollywood Fringe Festival. Set in rural Kentucky, the play follows Joe Malone, a gifted musician returning home after serving time in prison, as he attempts to reconnect with the family he left behind. Through emotionally driven storytelling and original music, Redemption Song explores addiction, family trauma, forgiveness, and the difficult road toward healing.
In our conversation, Cece King opens up about the inspiration behind the play, the choice to weave original music into the story, and what it means to create character-driven theatre that does not shy away from complicated people or painful truths. With original songs by Matt Pynn and Grammy-nominated songwriter and producer Wes Hutchinson, Redemption Song brings together theatre, music, and deeply human storytelling in a way that feels intimate, honest, and timely.
