Soundboard
The Steinway & Sons Podcast
Kenneth Jones
Kenneth Jones, a New York City–based playwright, librettist and lyricist, talks about the craft of playwriting — and the streaming premiere of his 2015 play Alabama Story at Oak Ridge Playhouse. He discusses the musicality of dialogue with Soundboard producer/host Ben Finane, Editor in Chief at Steinway’s award-winning online music magazine listenmusicculture.com.
‘I really heard this dialogue as singing on some level.’
