Based on the innovative graphic novel/memoir by Alison Bechdel, FUN HOME reflects on the journey of self-discovery and sexual awakening while growing up in her family’s Funeral Home. Told by three ages of Alison who is claiming her full identity through her memories, we unbundle the complexities of growing up with her, confronting a dysfunctional home and a closeted father who may have committed suicide rather than dealing with it. Music by Tony Award winner Jeanine Tesori (Kimberly Akimbo, Shrek: the Musical, Violet), the score highlights these emotionally delicate relations the contradictions of the 1970s.
FUN HOME is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals.
