"Fun Home" Play In Need Of Kids and Teens

Seeking kids and teens for "Fun Home" play. See the details below. About the project: Inspired by a true story, the Tony Award-winning musical Fun Home follows the coming-of-age story of lesbian author Alison Bechdel, from her youth to her years at Oberlin College, and finally to the present, where Alison, now grown, is struggling to write her own graphic autobiography. As Alison reflects on her past, she struggles to make sense of it, particularly her relationship with her father, Bruce, a closeted gay man, and the owner of the family business — the Bechdel Funeral Home aka the “fun” home, as it’s known to young Alison and her brothers, John and Christian. As she watches her father’s self-loathing consume him, Alison recognizes her own experience of discovery, and ultimately embraces her identity. Fun Home is an unforgettable and groundbreaking musical, exploring the haunting pull of memory and the power it can alternately destroy or shape our identity.
