FUN HOME Comes to Mid-valley Performing Arts Center in April

The critically-acclaimed Broadway musical Fun Home is set to captivate audiences in Taylorsville, Utah at the Mid-valley Performing Arts Center from April 14-29. It concludes Wasatch Theatre Company's seven-show 25th season and is a late replacement for Richard Greeneberg's Pulitzer-Prize winning Take Me Out. Based on Alison Bechdel's best-selling graphic memoir, the Tony Award-winning musical explores themes of family, identity, and coming-of-age.

Fun Home follows the story of Alison Bechdel, a Lesbian cartoonist, as she attempts to understand her complicated relationship with her father, a closeted Gay man and the owner of the family funeral home. The musical features a powerful and emotional score by Jeanine Tesori and a book and lyrics by Lisa Kron. It won numerous awards, including the Tony Award for Best Musical, and has been praised for its groundbreaking representation of LGBTQIA+ characters.

Directed by Kacey Spadafora, the production promises to be a powerful and moving theatrical experience.

"We are thrilled to bring this groundbreaking musical to the Wasatch stage," said Producer and WTC Executive Director Jim Martin. Fun Home tells a powerful story that resonates with audiences of all ages and backgrounds. We hope the show will start important conversations about identity, family, and acceptance."
