Multiple Tony-award winning musical FUN HOME comes to Santa Rosa!
Based on a graphic autobiographical novel by Alison Bechdel, FUN HOME describes her coming-of-age as a young lesbian growing up in rural Pennsylvania and her complex relationship with her father in a home full of secrets. Described by Bechdel as a “family tragicomic” story, this ultimately uplifting musical celebrates the joys of being a family while shining a light on the poignant undercurrents of family life.
