WomenArts is especially proud of Lisa Kron, who participated in the League of Professional Theatre Women’s SWAN Day 2009 panel discussion at Lincoln Center Library with WomenArts Executive Director Martha Richards. The show also won for Best Book of a Musical (Lisa Kron), Best Direction of a Musical (Sam Gold), and Best Lead Actor in a Musical (Michael Cerveris). Lisa Kron (book and lyrics) and Jeanine Tesori (music) made history by becoming the first female team to win a Tony Award for Best Original Score of a Broadway musical for their work on Fun Home. The play’s success last night is a triumph both for women artists and for gay rights. Based on Alison Bechdel’s best-selling graphic novel of the same name, the musical version Fun Home is the first full-scale Broadway production of a lesbian coming-of-age story.
