Theater Night at Lake City Playhouse is Jan. 16

COEUR d’ALENE — Join North Idaho Pride Alliance for a special evening Jan. 16 at Lake City Playhouse to experience "Fun Home," an award-winning musical with characters and thematic content that connects with LGBTQ people and their families.

This benefit event is an opportunity to bring volunteers, supporters and partners together through the magic of community theater.

The reception will begin at 5:30 p.m. Showtime is at 7 p.m. Food, beer, wine and other beverages will be available to purchase at this event.

Tickets are $25. One drink ticket is included in the price.

"Fun Home" follows the story of protagonist and graphic novelist Alison Bechdel. When her father dies unexpectedly, she 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. It received "best musical," "best score" and "best book of a musical" Tony awards in 2015. The Lake City Playhouse production officially opens Jan. 17 and runs through Feb. 2.

Lake City Playhouse is at 1320 E. Garden Ave., Coeur d'Alene.

A limited amount of physical tickets can be purchased through volunteers or at the NIPA office in the Human Rights Education Institute (414 W. Fort Grounds Drive). Opportunities are available for volunteers, sponsors and event partners.
