Join Colorado Springs PrideFest and Fine Arts Center for a LGBT + Reception of Alison Bechdel's Fun Home on Friday, April 6, at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center. If you haven’t heard of it, Fun Home is an original, refreshingly honest musical punctuated with an innovative score that frames the curiosity of childhood and the complexities of family. Alison’s father was many things: a historical preservationist, a funeral home director, a distant parent, and a closeted gay man. In the struggle to understand her father, while also dealing with her own budding sexuality, Alison reveals memories of her life at three different ages. This Tony Award–winning musical will take audiences on a heartrending and fiercely funny journey.
Why is it a MUST SEE? On Broadway and beyond, the show has made it a priority to champion LGBT+ rights drawing in crowds to watch a show that meaningfully expands audiences’ perceptions of how people navigate life, love, and personal relationships as they recognize and honor their own sexuality.
