A conversation with Jeanine Tesori

Abstract

Jeanine Tesori, in conversation with Raymond Knapp and Holley Replogle-Wong of the UCLA Center for Musical Humanities, discusses her journey, creative process and commitment to telling the stories of people underrepresented on the musical stage. The Q&A that followed, with members of a recent student production of Fun Home, engaged her in further discussions about contemporary musical theatre and the specific challenges of bringing Fun Home to life onstage.
