Bechdel's Fun Home To Be A Musical

"Fun Home," Alison Bechdel's brilliant graphic novel memoir (review here) is being adapted for musical theater:

“My father and I grew up in the same small Pennsylvania town and he was gay and I was gay and he killed himself and I became a lesbian cartoonist,” Bechdel's character says in Fun Home.

Kron is a founding member of the theater company Five Lesbian Brothers and an Obie Award winning playwright for her autobiographical play 2.5 Minute Ride.

Tony nominated composer Tesori won the 1999 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Music in a play with her compositions for Twelfth Night at Lincoln Center and she also picked up the Obie Award for the score for 1997’s off-Broadway show Violet as well as composing 11 new songs for a production of Thouroughly Modern Millie that transferred to Broadway in 2002.

More fun with setting things on fire, ostensibly for science

Last week, we carefully observed the interaction between fire and steel wool. Much important data was gathered. I think we all learned something. Now, it's time to progress our research. Up next: What happens when you use a laser to ignite a piece of paper that's been suspended inside a clear balloon? The slow-motion replay is really the key in this experiment. Don't miss it.
