Join the Department of Theatre Arts for Fun Home, April 11-13.

Fun Home is first Tony Award-winning musical written entirely by women, explores how Alison, a cartoonist now the same age as her father when he died, sifts through haunting childhood memories. Adapted from the best-selling graphic novel memoir by Alison Bechdel, this groundbreaking, refreshingly honest musical illuminates how a family can be understood through grown-up eyes. As adult Alison recreates memories of her youth and college experiences, her reflections on playing airplane, the family-run funeral home, her enigmatic father’s obsessions, coming out, and the subsequent discovery of family secrets intertwine to create a new, more balanced perspective and a greater understanding of her own identity.
