WSU Theatre: “Fun Home”

WSU Theatre & Dance Department presents Fun Home
Music by Jeanine Tesori
Book and Lyrics by Lisa Kron
Based on the Graphic Novel by Alison Bechdel

Fun Home is a darkly comic musical that tells the story of Alison Bechdel’s life as she begins to illustrate her graphic novel. She reflects on her flawed relationship with her father, a closeted gay man, her not so perfect family and the challenges that come with discovering her sexuality. It’s a powerful, emotional story that mixes humor with the struggles and complexities of Alison’s experiences.
