Fun Home October 1-4, 2026 | The Westbury Theatre Presented by NUOVA Vocal Arts in partnership with The Fringe Theatre Music by Jeanine Tesori Book and Lyrics by Lisa Kron Based on the Graphic Novel by Alison Bechdel Directed by Benjamin Smith Music Directed by Simon Abbott Presented in partnership with The Fringe Theatre About The Show Cartoonist Alison Bechdel returns to the house where she grew up, searching through memory for a way to understand her brilliant, complicated and elusive father. Moving between Alison’s childhood, her university years and her adult life, Fun Home reveals a family held together by affection, secrecy and the stories its members tell themselves. What emerges is at once deeply personal and universally recognizable: a daughter’s attempt to see her parents clearly - and, in doing so, better understand herself. Winner of five Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Fun Home is a compassionate and profoundly moving theatrical memoir, alive with humour, discovery and an unforgettable contemporary score. Recommended for mature audiences.

SWAN? — THE 100TH SHOW: A FRINGE HOLDOVER CELEBRATIONOne night only. Back where it all began. SWAN? first held over at the [Edmonton] Fringe in 2024 — and it's been packing houses ever since. Now, to celebrate 100 performances, she's coming home for one special night at the festival that made her a hit. She's the dark, ugly sister to Black Swan — a chain-smoking, half-swan, half-ballerina turning the tragedy of Swan Lake into a dark, raunchy rom-com. And who knows... you might even get to open her box. Could you be the hero who helps her escape this living hell? SWAN? is a genre-defying, one-person fusion of ballet, clown, bouffon, and song — a darkly funny, perfectly en pointe takedown of the patriarchy and self-worth. It'll make you ask: how much would you change yourself for a romantic partner?

An Edmonton-born Punjabi food writer decides to review fifty butter chickens across the city. It starts as a dumb food project. Then things get weird. Memories of growing up desi in Mill Woods creep in—family fights, trying to fit in, being reduced to a stereotype. Beneath the laughs and disasters sits a story about immigrant trauma, assimilation, and trying to find yourself in the meals people carry across oceans. Ramneek Singh is an Edmonton food writer, most known for his Butter Chicken Odyssey, a two-year project documenting the city’s Indian and Pakistani restaurants. Singh also organizes the Butter Chicken Bash, the ’90s Bakra Party, and the Punjabi Folk ‘n’ Feast, events celebrating South Asian culture while supporting local restaurants. His work has appeared on CBC, CTV, CityTV, and PBS. Two Edmonton restaurants have dishes named after him.
