Three Rivers Music Theatre Announces Complete Casting For FUN HOME
By: Julie Musbach Dec. 20, 2018
Three Rivers Music Theatre is thrilled to announce the cast for the Fort Wayne Premiere of FUN HOME, one of the most celebrated musicals in recent Broadway history. FUN HOME is the coming-out memoir of Alison Bechdel, an exploration of family, memory, first love, and a daughter's relationship with her father. FUN HOME was nominated for 12 Tony Awards in 2015 winning five including Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, Best Original Score, Best Leading Actor and Actress in a Musical. FUN HOME was also winner of the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Musical, Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Off-Broadway Musical and the Obie Award for Musical Theatre.
Three Rivers Music Theatre's cast includes Kat Hickey as Alison Bechdel, Todd Frymier as Bruce Bechdel, Eileen Alberding as Helen Bechdel, Isabella Hickey as Medium Alison, Tegan Dostal & Gretchen Lowe as Small Alison, Chelsi Kern as Joan, Chandler Chastain as Roy/Pete/Mark/Bobby Jeremy, Jackson Hickey & Hudson Mulhall as Christian Bechdel, and Brenner Newsom as John Bechdel.
FUN HOME is based on Alison Bechdel's witty and wistful graphic novel of the same name. Past and present blend magically as we see Alison at three different ages: as a young girl playing games in the family's funeral home, as a college student joyously discovering her sexuality as a lesbian woman and now as an adult on an extraordinary quest to discover the truth about her father's secret life. Don't miss this extraordinary regional premiere production!
FUN HOME is directed by Three Rivers Music Theatre's Founding Artistic Director, Andy Planck. Brandon Porter Music Directs. Three Rivers Music Theatre welcomes back Resident Lighting Designer Luke Holliger, Resident Costume Designer Michelle Brady, and Resident Props Designer Lyssa Troemel. Production Stage Manager is Maggie Clifton.
