About The Show
Cartoonist Alison Bechdel returns to the house where she grew up, searching through memory for a way to understand her brilliant, complicated and elusive father.
Moving between Alison’s childhood, her university years and her adult life, Fun Home reveals a family held together by affection, secrecy and the stories its members tell themselves. What emerges is at once deeply personal and universally recognizable: a daughter’s attempt to see her parents clearly—and, in doing so, better understand herself.
Winner of five Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Fun Home is a compassionate and profoundly moving theatrical memoir, alive with humour, discovery and an unforgettable contemporary score.
NUOVA’s production brings together a queer cast and creative team to share a story about identity, memory and the courage it takes to become fully yourself.
