The regional premiere of an exhilarating, heartbreaking and Tony Award-winning musical about coming out and coming of age.
‘I think we’re alike in a certain way…’
Join cartoonist Alison Bechdel on a journey into her childhood memories, remembering what it’s like to grow up in a funeral home, undergo a sexual awakening in college and try to make sense of the secrets at the heart of your family.
This groundbreaking modern masterpiece is a tale of grief and love, queer tragedy and queer joy, told through soaring, revelatory songs.
Marking the 20th anniversary of Alison Bechdel’s iconic graphic novel, Fun Home features music by Jeanine Tesori and book and lyrics by Lisa Kron. The musical’s northern debut is directed by Sarah Frankcom.
