Notes:
- All ages listed are “stage age.”
- The character of Alison is portrayed by three different performers.
- The roles of Roy, Mark, Pete, and Bobby Jeremy are typically performed by the same actor.
- All performers are encouraged to listen to the full “Fun Home” soundtrack (available on all major streaming platforms) to gain a better understanding of the plot, characters, feel, and unique structure of this musical.
- *Character has potential moments of scripted intimacy with another character on stage. This staging will be thoughtfully guided by the principles of Intimacy Direction, and open communication and consent will be prioritized throughout the rehearsal process.
