  • History and Background
    History and Background Book by Lisa Kron, music by Jeanine Tesori Based on the graphic novel by Alison Bechdel SYNOPSIS Both refreshingly honest and wildly innovative, Fun Home is based on Vermont author Alison Bechdel’s acclaimed graphic memoir. As the show unfolds, meet Bechdel at three different life stages as she grows and grapples with her uniquely dysfunctional family, her sexuality, and her father’s secrets. ABOUT THE WRITERS LISA KRON was born and raised in Michigan. She is the daughter of Ann, a former community activist, and Walter, a German-born lawyer and Holocaust survivor. Kron spent much of her childhood feeling like an outsider because of her religion and sexuality. She attended Kalamazoo College before moving to New York in 1984, where she found success as both an actress and playwright. Many of Kron’s plays draw upon her childhood experiences. She earned early praise for her autobiographical plays 2.5 Minute Ride and 101 Humiliating Stories. In 1989, Kron co-founded the OBIE Award-winning theater company The Five Lesbian Brothers, a troupe that used humor to produce work from a feminist and lesbian perspective. Her play Well, which she both wrote and starred in, opened on Broadway in 2006. Kron was nominated for the Best Actress in a Play Tony Award for her work. JEANINE TESORI is the most honored female composer in musical theatre history. Upon receiving her degree in music from Barnard College, she worked as a musical theatre conductor before venturing into the art of composing in her 30s. She made her Broadway debut in 1995 when she composed the dance music for How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, and found her first major success with the off- Broadway musical Violet (Obie Award, Lucille Lortel Award), which was later produced on Broadway in 2014.

  • Are They Family?: Queer Parents and Queer Pasts In
    ARE THEY FAMILY?: QUEER PARENTS AND QUEER PASTS IN CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN CULTURE BY MICHAEL SHETINA DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2019 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Siobhan Somerville, Chair Professor Chantal Nadeau Associate Professor Julie Turnock Associate Professor Richard T. Rodríguez, University of California, Riverside ABSTRACT The early twenty-first century saw a marked increase in depictions of LGBTQ people and communities in American popular culture occurring alongside political activism that culminated in the repeal of the Pentagon's Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy (2010) and the Supreme Court's overturning of same-sex marriage bans in Obergefell v. Hodges (2015). Even as these events fueled a triumphant progressive narrative in which social and political representation moved LGBTQ people into a better future, a significant strain of LGBTQ-focused popular culture drew its attention to the past. My dissertation, Are They Family?: Queer Parents and Queer Pasts in Popular Culture, examines how American film, television, and literature between 2005 and 2016 construct relationships among LGBTQ people across recent history in generational and familial terms. These works queer the concept of the family by deploying parents and parental figures to examine the role of families in the transmission of queer knowledges, practices, and identities, countering notions of families as mere precursors to queer identity—“families of origin”—or as the agential creations of out LGBTQ people—“families of choice.” These works demonstrate how such dichotomous conceptions of family limit the people, experiences, and forms of affect that are legible within the category of LGBTQ history.

  • Lesbian Suicide Musical"
    The Journal of American Drama and Theatre (JADT) https://jadt.commons.gc.cuny.edu Branding Bechdel’s Fun Home: Activism and the Advertising of a "Lesbian Suicide Musical" by Maureen McDonnell The Journal of American Drama and Theatre Volume 31, Number 2 (Winter 2019) ISNN 2376-4236 ©2019 by Martin E. Segal Theatre Center Alison Bechdel offered a complicated and compelling memoir in her graphic novel Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic (2006), adapted by Lisa Kron and Jeanine Tesori into the Broadway musical Fun Home (2015). Both works presented an adult Bechdel reflecting on her father’s troubled life as a closeted gay man and his possible death by suicide. As Bechdel herself noted, “it’s not like a happy story, it’s not something that you would celebrate or be proud of.”[1] Bechdel’s coining of “tragicomic” as her book’s genre highlights its fraught narrative and its visual format indebted to “comics” rather than to comedy. Bechdel’s bleak overview of her father’s life and death served as a backdrop for a production that posited truthfulness as life-affirming and as a means of survival. Fun Home’s marketers, however, imagined that being forthright about the production’s contents and its masculine lesbian protagonist would threaten the show’s entertainment and economic potential. It was noted before the show opened that “the promotional text for the show downplays the queer aspects,” a restriction that was by design.[2] According to Tom Greenwald, Fun Home’s chief marketing strategist and the production’s strategy officer, the main advertising objective was to “make sure that it’s never ever associated specifically with the ‘plot or subject matter.’” Instead, the marketing team decided to frame the musical as a relatable story of a family “like yours.” [3] The marketers assumed that would-be playgoers would be uninterested in this tragic hero/ine if her sexuality were known.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: July 9, 2012 Casey De La Rosa 310.360.1981 [email protected] Sundance Institute Selects Acting Company and Creative Advisors for 2012 Theatre Lab at Sundance Resort, July 9-29 Actors include Cherry Jones, Raúl Esparza, Keith David and Tony Plana New York, NY — Sundance Institute today announced the acting company and creative advisors for the eight projects being developed at its 2012 Theatre Lab, July 9-29 at the Sundance Resort. Under the supervision of Philip Himberg, Producing Artistic Director, and Associate Director Christopher Hibma, the Lab is the centerpiece of the Theatre Program’s year-round work and is designed to support emerging and established artists and to create a place where their original work can be effectively mentored and challenged. “The Theatre Lab allows each playwright to explore and follow his or her vision – wherever it takes them,” said Himberg. “Compelling plays are born when the pressures of production are not yet exerted on a final product. The 2012 Lab community represents an incredible diversity of that vision, and the acting company that will support and inform that work is extraordinary.” Participants include: Acting Company Roberta Lucila Colindrez (LAByrinth Theater Member), Liza Colon-Zayas (LAByrinth Theater Member), Patch Darragh (Our Town-Broadway), Keith David (Platoon, Jelly’s Last Jam-Broadway), André De Shields (Ain’t Misbehavin’-Broadway, The Full Monty-Broadway), Raúl Esparza (Leap of Faith), Nathan Lee Graham (The Wild Party-Broadway, Wig Out!), Korey Jackson, Georgi James (Billy Elliot-Broadway, Little Miss Sunshine The Musical), Cherry Jones (Doubt-Broadway, Mrs.

ARI SHAPIRO, HOST: A handful of musicians cross smoothly from pop to Broadway and back like Elton John and Cyndi Lauper, who've written big musical blockbusters. Shaina Taub is part of a new generation of young composers with a foot in each world. This summer, her musical adaptation of Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night" will be part of the free Shakespeare in the Park series in New York. (SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "PLAY ON") SHAINA TAUB: (Singing) If music be the food of love, play on, play on. If music be the food of love, play on. SHAPIRO: And at the same time, Shaina Taub has just released a new album of her own original songs, most of them not tied to any musical. The album is called "Die Happy." (SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "DIE HAPPY") TAUB: (Singing) If I die before you, you can have my records. You can give my books away. SHAPIRO: Shaina Taub, welcome to ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. TAUB: Thanks, Ari. Thanks for having me. SHAPIRO: So on this album "Die Happy," a lot of the music is overtly political.

It tied for the winningest show on Broadway this season with the British import “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time,” which also won five awards, including best play. The sumptuous revival of “The King and I” also had reason to whistle a happy tune, with four awards including best revival. The melody was sadder for “Something Rotten!,” which came into the night with 10 nominations but left with only one award, the same number that both “Wolf Hall” plays took home. “Hand to God,” with five nominations, saw no divine love and Chita Rivera’s return to Broadway in “The Visit” was given the cold shoulder. London-born actor Alex Sharp won best lead actor in a play for “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time,” beating out stars Bradley Cooper and Bill Nighy.
