Before Faith Soloway hit the big time co-creating and writing for "Transparent," she wrote folksongs and musicals that explored the intersection of comedy, politics and relationships. Her shows Jesus Has Two Mommies & Miss Folk America regularly sold out the Somerville Theater. Singer/songwriter Catie Curtis will talk with Faith about the Boston roots of her career, followed by performances by Faith and guest artists. The Passim Audience was treated to a sneak peek of "Transparent, the Musical" and a performance by Boston's trans group "Butterfly Music Transgender Chorus."

Come hear about Faith Soloway's path from the Boston creative arts scene (where she performed as a folksinger and wrote and produced the musicals Jesus Has Two Mommies & Miss Folk America), to Los Angeles and the making of "Transparent" with her sister Jill.Proceeds to benefit Americans United for Separation of Church and State. http://www.au.org.
