Lisa Kron, based on Alison Bechdel’s graphic novel of the same name
Directed by Jacob Basri
Music Direction by Eric Walton
Choreography by Joe Ayers
Malonga Casquelourd Center for the Arts, April 26 – May 12, 2024
A winner of 7 Tony Awards, the original, refreshing musical _Fun Home_
tells the story of cartoonist Alison Bechdel as she prepares to write
her first graphic memoir and the memories of her youth overwhelm her.
Diving deep into her past to write about the sudden death of her
father, the adult Alison conjures two other versions of herself to
help her make sense of the volatile, brilliant, one-of-a-kind man she
knew. With a tender score and a sharp, brilliant script, _Fun Home_
tells the story of the universal, bittersweet experience of seeing
your parents through grown-up eyes.
_Fun Home_ marks the return of YMTC+ for the first time since 2018.
YMTC+ shows feature YMTC alumni, teaching artists, students, and guest
performers – all understudied by a shadow cast of current YMTC
students.
