FUN HOME

“Share the heart-gripping pull of memory.”

Book and Lyrics by Lisa Kron, Music by Jeanine Tesori
Based on the graphic novel by Alison Bechdel
Directed by Leira V. Satlof

Sponsored by: Open Door Community Health Centers

When her father dies unexpectedly, graphic novelist Alison dives deep into her past to tell the story of the volatile, brilliant, one-of-a-kind man whose temperament and secrets defined her family and her life. Moving between past and present, Alison relives her unique childhood playing at the family’s Bechdel Funeral Home, her growing understanding of her own sexuality, and the looming, unanswerable questions about her father’s hidden desires. Fun Home is a refreshingly honest, wholly original musical about seeing your parents through grown-up eyes. It deals with mature subject matter and parents should familiarize themselves with the story before bringing children. Winner of five Tony Awards, including best musical.
