Event Details
Alison Bechdel, the legendary author of Fun Home and The Secret to Superhuman Strength, will take The Egyptian Theatre stage to talk about her latest book, Spent.
The event will be on Thursday, February 26, at 7:30 PM (doors at 6:30 PM) at The Egyptian Theatre in Boise (700 W. Main Street, Boise, ID 83702).
This event is part of The Cabin’s 2025-26 Readings & Conversations series.
EVENT UPDATE: This event will no longer feature Samuel Hunter in conversation with Alison Bechdel. Samuel has an unforeseen scheduling conflict and Alison will now be giving a solo visual presentation. We thank you in advance for understanding and look forward to seeing you at an event that will prove to be equal parts inspiring and offbeat (and assuredly pass The Bechdel Test).
About the Author

Bechdel is a Professor in the Practice at Yale University and has won both Guggenheim and MacArthur Fellowships, among many other honors.
