November 3, 4, 5, & 6Fun Home
Music by Jeanine Tesori Book & Lyrics by Lisa Kron Adapted from Fun Home by Alison Bechdel 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. Show Program |
January 6, 7, & 8Audience
by Michael Frayn This hilarious satire about audiences by the author of Noises Off and other acclaimed plays, takes place in the audience seating of a theatre. The cast includes an usher, audience members, and a playwright who is in agony over the crinkling candy wrappers, the incessant talking, and the inattention to his play. The characters in Michael Frayn's metatheatrical comedy are actually watching the audience, expecting them to perform, and comedy ensues as Frayn holds a mirror up to the them, to let them see their our own ridiculous eccentricities.
