Miners Alley Playhouse Adds Performance of “Fun Home" to Benefit Denver Actors Fund

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.

Based on Alison Bechdel's best-selling graphic memoir, Fun Home’s beautiful and compelling score made history when Tesori and Kron became the first female writing team to win the Tony Award for Best Original Score. It is the first Broadway musical with a lesbian lead character and covers themes of realization, forgiveness and empowerment, sexuality and mental health. Colorado’s Beth Malone was nominated for a Tony Award for her work in this groundbreaking musical in the role of Alison Bechdel.

Performance just added for Monday, February 26 at 7:30 p.m. to benefit Denver Actors Fund - all tickets $15.
