In A Transparent Musical, audiences follow the Transparent story through the Pfefferman family’s youngest child Ali Pfefferman as they navigate the ups and downs of self-discovery. Ali’s Los Angeles Jewish family is filled with secrets, but when their parent, Maura, transitions to the transgender matriarch she always knew she was, the family is forced to confront their own identities and navigate their relationships with each other.
