Fun Home Is The Story Of Our Home

Breaking Character: When we were given the huge opportunity to produce Fun Home in our home in Eastern Iowa, I knew what the story meant to me, but I wasn’t sure how my home would feel about it. I saw the show with the original Broadway cast in the summer of 2015 because the marketing looked good, it had Tony buzz and my good friend Emma had read the book. At brunch before the show, another friend asked if we had our Kleenex. We didn’t because we had missed a few, very pertinent plot points–especially for our group. We had one napkin to share between us.
