What’s On: Fun Home (PIP Theatre)

Fun Home

29 August – 14 September 2024

PIP Theatre, Milton

Adapted from Alison Bechdel’s groundbreaking graphic novel, Fun Home is a refreshingly honest, wholly original musical about seeing your parents through grown-up eyes.

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.

Adapted by Jeanine Tesori (music) and Lisa Kron (book and lyrics), the musical has garnered numerous accolades including five Tony Awards (including Best Musical, Best Score, and Best Book) and was a finalist for the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
