FUN HOME at Theatre UAB

Based on Alison Bechdel’s graphic memoir, the musical “Fun Home” is written by Jeanine Tesori and Lisa Kron. Both the graphic memoir and the musical tell the true story of Bechdel, a cartoonist, as she grapples with her relationship with her father, a closeted homosexual, who committed suicide only months after Alison herself came out. In remembering moments from her past as a child and college student, Alison questions whether she is like her father and whether she is guilty of causing her father’s death.

A refreshingly honest, wholly original musical about seeing your parents through grown-up eyes.
