Adapted from Alison Bechdel's groundbreaking graphic novel, Fun Home is a refreshingly honest, wholly original musical about seeing your parents through grown-up eyes. 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.

I got the opportunity to work with the Scenic Designer in bringing her ideas to life. I was in charge of painting and supervising the painting of the floor, which had a comic book inspired look to it, brining to life Allison’s sketches. I also got the chance to bring to life some of the furniture props detail work as well as the bookshelf in collaboration with Ellery and the Scene Shop Crew.
