Tony Award winner Lea Salonga, Eric Kunze and Cris Villonco reprise their roles in Fun Home. 

Lea stays,  “(Fun Home) gets a little too close, but that also makes it  exciting, scary but fulfilling because it’s incredibly real.”

When 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.
