Based on the Graphic Novel by Alison Bechdel

Synopsis: When her father dies unexpectedly, graphic novelist Alison dives deep into her past to tell the story of the volatile, brilliant, one-of-a-kind man whose temperament and secrets defined her family and her life. Moving between past and present, Alison relives her unique childhood playing at the family’s Bechdel Funeral Home, her growing understanding of her own sexuality, and the looming, unanswerable questions about her father’s hidden desires. Fun Home is a refreshingly honest, wholly original musical about seeing your parents through grown-up eyes.

Who We Are

The Phoenicia Playhouse is the home of the Shandaken Theatrical Society, a 50-year-old not-for-profit organization dedicated to bringing community theater to Shandaken and surrounding communities. Located at 10 Church Street in the heart of Phoenicia, the theater was constructed in 1887 by the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Over the years it has housed the original charitable and fraternal organization, an auction house, and a movie house. It is now one of the Catskill region’s longest-lived art organizations. The Playhouse has been an important resource for our community for 138 years. Our goal is to keep it thriving for artists and patrons of future generations.

Our Mission

The Phoenicia Playhouse is a performing arts organization that strengthens, invigorates and promotes the Catskills community. Our mission is three-fold: We produce shows, provide a venue for other shows and events, and create educational opportunities through youth and adult workshops. We are committed to drawing residents (full-time and part-time) and travelers together through the experience of the arts. “Community” is the most important part of “Community Theater”.
