An Evening from the Queer Songbook: A Conversation: Performing Artist in New York

About An Evening from the Queer Songbook: A Conversation

An Evening from the Queer Songbook: A Conversation is a BAM appearance built around Taylor Mac and longtime collaborator Matt Ray, centered on Mac’s work as a playwright-performer and MacArthur Fellow and Ibsen Award recipient. Framed as talk and song, the program traces material from the Queer Songbook and the musical theater tradition. The conversation returns to themes that recur across Mac’s writing, including chosen family and holiday rituals. The approach favors specificity and dramaturgy over a standard concert format.
