SpeakEasy Stage Presents FUN HOME

From October 19 to November 24, 2018, SpeakEasy Stage will present the Boston Regional Theatre Premiere of the 2015 Tony Award-winning musical FUN HOME.
Featuring music by Tony Award winner Jeanine Tesori and a book and lyrics by Tony Award winner Lisa Kron, FUN HOME is a landmark musical about seeing one's parents through grown-up eyes. Based on Ms. Bechdel's best-selling memoir of the same name, this groundbreaking musical introduces us to Alison at three different ages, revealing memories that celebrate the curiosity of childhood, the challenges of coming out, and the complexities of family.

SpeakEasy Founder and Producing Artistic Director Paul Daigneault will direct this production of FUN HOME. Winner of three Elliot Norton Awards including the 2014 Norton Prize for Sustained Excellence, Mr. Daigneault had directed dozens of Boston premieres, including the company's recent productions of The Scottsboro Boys, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, and Allegiance.

The artistic team also includes IRNE Award-winning Music Director Matthew Stern and Choreographer Sarah Crane.

Amy Jo Jackson (Alison), Ellie van Amerongen (Medium Alison) and Marisa Simeqi (Small Alison) will play Ms. Bechdel at different ages in this compelling musical. Also in the cast are Laura Marie Duncan, Luke Gold, Desiré Graham, Cameron Levesque, Madi Shaer, Tyler Simahk, and Todd Yard.

The design team includes Cristina Todesco (scenic); Charles Schoonmaker (costumes);
Karen Perlow (lighting); Andrew Duncan Will (sound); and Jennifer Butler (props).

Rachel Sturm is the Production Stage Manager. John Meredith is the Assistant Stage Manager.

FUN HOME will run for six weeks, from October 19 through November 24, 2018, in the Roberts Studio Theatre in the Stanford Calderwood Pavilion at the Boston Center for the Arts, 527 Tremont Street in Boston's South End.
