The Nevada Conservatory Theatre (NCT) opens its 2019-20 season with the musical Fun Home Oct. 4 - Oct. 13 in the Judy Bayley Theatre. Lauren Blair directs. Book and lyrics by Lisa Kron with music by Jeanine Tesori.
After her father suddenly dies, Alison delves deep into her past to tell the story of her uniquely dysfunctional childhood.

Through her explorations of the past, Alison grows to understand her own sexuality.
