I am joined by actress and creative, Murphy Taylor Smith, to talk about her amazing work in musical theater and beyond. Murphy shares her experience as a trans woman in the world of musical theater, taking on roles like Rabbi Raquel in Center Theatre Group's groundbreaking production of A Transparent Musical. We touch on her growing up as an identical twin, and finding her own trans identity.
I am joined by musician, writer, and creator Lisa Stephen Friday to talk about her incredible new show, Trans Am. Lisa shares her experience as a trans artist, both in the worlds of rock and roll and musical theater. She has played alongside heavy hitters like Pat Benatar and Indigo Girls with her band, Lisa Jackson & Girl Friday, as the out and proud trans front woman.
Sometimes all the elements come together to create theatrical perfection –– and that’s what happens, most wonderfully, in The REV’s current production of the classic musical, “State Fair.”
