Funny Uncles

“This piece celebrates all of us. Whether your family is straight or gay, adoptive, alternative, divorced, married, full of step-members – or anything in between – we all know the expectation of what a ‘real family’ should look like. Funny Uncles invites people to honor what being a family is really about: recognizing the love, not worrying about the differences.”--Peter DiMuro

Funny Uncles in the News

While the number of blended families, adoption, single parents by choice and gay parenting are all on the rise, the image of family remains as a traditional, nuclear unit. Funny Uncles, conceived and directed by Producing Artistic Director Peter DiMuro, explores the reality of contemporary families through movement, theatre, video and spoken word.
