Albion College’s History Department, in conjunction with the college’s 2026 Yinger Endowed Lecture in the Humanities, welcomes Alysia Abbott to Albion College and the Bohm Theatre for the Michigan premier of Fairyland, Friday, April 10th, at 7:00 pm.

Alysia is the author of Fairyland: A Memoir of My Father(2013), about growing up in the 1970s and 80s in San Francisco as the only child of a single gay man. The 2023 dramatic film adaptation was shown in selected theaters nationally just this past fall. The winner of a number of film festival awards, Fairyland was also nominated for a 2026 GLAAD Media award for Outstanding Film in Limited Release. Praised as an “unconventional coming-of-age story”, “a moving, warmly funny portrait of a bygone era of queer life and liberation” “that is at its very big heart a universal story of family, love, staying true to who you are, and being there for each other when it counts the most”, Fairyland has been received positively by both reviewers and audiences, scoring 96% on Rotten Tomatoes’ Tomatometer.

Alysia will introduce the film. This event is free and open to the public. Please join us!
