“If you’re not invited to the party, throw a better one.” — Taylor Mac
One of the most singular artists of our time, Taylor Mac – performance artist, singer, playwright, director, and actor– creates fearlessly irreverent works that build community through the making of theater. Equal parts community organizer, Elizabethan fool, and “contemporary sage” (The Guardian), Taylor Mac (who uses the pronoun ‘judy’) appears decked and bedazzled in gloriously irreverent regalia in a performance that doesn’t “just defy categorization; [Mac] makes the categories themselves seem irrelevant.” (Time Out NY).
Nearly a decade ago, Wesley Morris of The New York Times called Taylor Mac’s marathon performance art concert A 24-Decade History of Popular Music “one of the great experiences of my life” before it became the subject of an HBO original feature documentary film. Taylor Mac continues to reframe and reflect on American history through spectacular original performances.
In “Taylor Mac: Born to Run (To and From the Hamptons),” seasoned provocateur Taylor Mac punctures New York’s beautiful bubble with a set built to meet Hamptonites on their own turf via a fresh look on our fragile democracy. This new evening of songs and Mac’s signature banter will feature recent works – including songs from the 24-Decade project and Bark of Millions, a new rock opera meditation on queerness – written in collaboration with the composer and Music Director Matt Ray and accompanied by an incomparable band.
As a visual feast, the event includes fantastical costumes by Machine Dazzle, who recently won the Creative Arts Emmy for “Outstanding Costumes For Variety, Nonfiction or Reality Programming” for his designs in the HBO documentary “Taylor Mac’s 24 Decade History of Popular Music.”
“Fabulousness can come in many forms, and Taylor Mac seems intent on assuming each and every one of them.” – The New York Times
“Mac is one of this country’s most heroic and disarmingly funny playwrights.” – American Theatre Magazine
“One of the most exciting theater artists of our time.”– TimeOut New York
