Fun Home the Musical

In this intimate musical, Alison sets out to unravel the many mysteries of her childhood through a series of memories and conversations – from her coming out to her moving journey to acceptance. Fun Home is a refreshingly honest, emotionally charged, and wholly original musical that The New York Times calls “extraordinary,” and “a rare beauty.”

Film Screening: A Reflection of Self
