The two-year
pandemic that we are now slowly emerging from, has been stressful to many
segments of society. But one of the
hardest hit has been the arts – especially theater and classical concerts.
For that reason,
we must take our hats off in congratulations to a Lansing community theater company,
Peppermint Creek, for presenting their current production of the challenging musical,
“Fun Home”.
Even though
season schedules have been upended through Covid, artistic director Chad
Badgero was determined to hold on to “Fun Home” and present this important show
to Lansing audiences.
“Fun Home“ is
the Tony Award winning show written by Lansing native Lisa Kron (book and lyrics)
and Jeanine Tesori (music).
I have seen “Fun
Home” performed by seasoned pros on Broadway and the national touring company at
Wharton Center. But there is something very special about watching local amateurs
bringing this show to life in a church auditorium.
