Jennifer Uphoff Gray directs Jeanine Tesori and Lisa Kron's Tony Award-winning musical, which is described as follows: "Graphic novelist Alison Bechdel's father was a volatile and brilliant man whose secrets defined her family and her life. Bruce taught high school English, ran the family's funeral home business, and was obsessed with restoring their old house. When he dies unexpectedly, Alison digs deeply into her childhood memories to try and understand how his choices may have influenced her own."
