Faith Soloway
Faith Soloway splits her time between the coasts, as her work on the show “Transparent” has had her spending a lot of long hours in the writers’ room in Los Angeles. “Having my daughter embrace and understand the sacrifices, while watching her follow her dreams in the arts, has been an amazing gift,” says Soloway, whose teenager lives in Boston, Mass. But with the success of the Emmy-winning “Transparent” (including an all-new musical stage show Soloway wrote that will premiere in New York this summer) she also has another responsibility and child to help grow. “The place that [the show] has landed in the world, as story telling reaching out and creating safety for the trans community, has been a huge reward,” Soloway says. Prior to the series, created by sibling Jill Soloway and loosely based on their own family experience, Soloway worked in the theater, having written and directed for Chicago’s Second City and the Annoyance Theater, including “The Real Live Brady Bunch,” which starred friend and collaborator Jane Lynch. “It’s almost easier for me to be on stage with my stuff than to be in real-time with it,” Soloway says. “I suppose that’s where we creative types work it out.” —TB
