Tony Award Wining FUN HOME Opens At EPAC

Fun Home is a tragicomedy musical about growing up and coming out. The book and lyrics are written by Lisa Kron with music by Jeanine Tesori, based on the graphic novel memoir of the same name by Alison Bechdel. The story follows Alison through the most influential stages of her life, beginning as a young girl growing up in her family's funeral home.

In college, Alison experiences her sexual awakening. Adult Alison narrates these experiences to the audience and captions the significant moments of her life.

EPAC's production of Fun Home will be directed by EPAC Artistic Director Edward R Fernandez and will star real life couple Nick and Stacia Smith as Alison's dysfunctional parents. Meg Falasco, Cora Siburt, and Caitlin Paige will portray Alison at three stages of her life.

Fun Home, with its beautiful score and beautifully written script, is not only emotionally moving but very funny as well. It is the kind of show that the Ephrata Performing Arts Center specializes in. Fun Home is sure to be another memorable EPAC production.

We will be holding a special talk back session after the May 9 performance with members of the cast, Artistic Director Edward Fernandez, and representatives from EPAC and Pennsylvania Youth Congress. Come out and ask questions to gain a deeper understanding of this show!

Fun Home will run from April 26, 2018, through May 12, 2018, at the Sharadin Bigler Theatre. Tickets can be purchased at ephrataperformingartscenter.com or by calling 717-733-7966 x 1.
