Fun Home

PURE Theatre presents the Pulitzer Prize-nominated, Tony Award-winning show based upon the graphic novel Fun Home, which chronicles author Alison Bechdel’s struggle to come out as a lesbian. (You may remember the book creating a stir in 2014, after the College of Charleston placed it on a reading list for incoming students.) “We typically don’t do musicals, but when the publisher approached us about this one, we couldn’t resist,” says PURE’s artistic director, Sharon Graci. PURE Theatre, 477 King St. Thursday-Saturday, 7:30 p.m. (& 3 p.m. on February 3); Wednesday, January 24, 7:30 p.m. $32-$25.
