FUN HOME at The Gladstone Theatre

When her father dies unexpectedly, graphic novelist 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.

Audience warning - Use of flashing lights, theatrical haze, and loud sound effects will be present throughout the performance.

Run time approx. 2 hrs 15 mins, includes intermission
