Taylor Mac In Concert: An Evening of Songs

In the nearly eight years since that Pulitzer Prize-nominated piece launched Taylor onto the world stage, Mac (who prefers “judy” as a chosen pronoun) has toured internationally, received a MacArthur Fellowship and the Ibsen Prize, brought the multiple Tony-nominated Gary: A Sequel to Titus Andronicus to Broadway and last year became the subject of an HBO original feature documentary film. Equal parts community organizer, Elizabethan fool and “contemporary sage” (The Guardian), Mac appears decked and bedazzled in gloriously irreverent regalia in a performance that doesn’t “just defy categorization; [Mac] makes the categories themselves seem irrelevant.” (TimeOut NY). This evening of songs features recent works written in collaboration with the composer and Music Director Matt Ray and performed by Mac, Ray and an incomparable band.
