The Story

Fun Home is based on Alison Bechdel’s bio-graphic novel of the same name. When her father dies unexpectedly, 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.

Performed at Illsley Ball Nordstrom Recital Hall in Benaroya Hall,
200 University Street, in the heart of downtown Seattle

Date: Sunday January 19th 6:00pm
