Columbia, MD, United States
ID: 592229Exp: 11/17/2025
Description:

Seeking young performers for "Fun Home" Musical. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: FUN HOME is a refreshingly honest, wholly original musical about seeing your parents through grown-up eyes. Based on Alison Bechdel’s New York Times best-selling graphic novel, FUN HOME is a five time Tony Award winning, taboo-busting musical that dives deep into Alison’s past to tell the true story of growing up with a brilliant but volatile father, whose temperament and secrets defined her family and her life. Alison is a cartoonist – it’s her job to fit stories into boxes. But her own life story sings outside the box. Moving between past and present, Alison relives her unique childhood playing games in the family’s funeral home; her growing understanding of her own sexuality, and the looming, unanswerable questions about her father’s hidden desires. Rate: Non-Paid. Additional info: Non-Union. Have your calendar handy and be prepared to enter rehearsal conflicts.
