I am just going to warn you right now ... if you miss Taylor Mac and you die ... well they just may have to reconstitute purgatory for you... and I don't know what the Buddhist or the Jewish or the Secular descriptive word for a place where no one has hope of ever leaving
Taylor Mac: The 20th Century Abridged
August 1, 2015 · 7:30 PM
CELEBRATE BROOKLYN! @ Prospect Park Bandshell
FREE
Gates open at 6:30PM.
This performance is recommended for mature audiences.
“Fabulousness can come in many forms, and TAYLOR MAC seems intent on assuming each and every one of them.” (NY Times) The inimitable Mac, “one of the most exciting theater artists of our time,” (TimeOut NY) has for the last 18 years created internationally award-winning performance events that at once provoke and embrace his diverse audience—shows in which he “doesn’t just defy categorization; he makes the categories themselves seem irrelevant.” (Time Out NY). Mac’s 24-Decade History of Popular Music is his most ambitious project to date, a subjective history of the 240 years since America’s founding told through the music of the times. For his very special Celebrate Brooklyn! debut, he’ll present a supercharged slice of this project: a politically-knowing, enormous of spirit, and outrageously entertaining romp through 100 years of culture as seen through songs that range from Tin Pan Alley to the birth of rock ‘n’ roll to disco and beyond. Special guests include the BROOKLYN UNITED MARCHING BAND, a gaggle of burlesque dancers, and maybe a few surprises. A Taylor Mac show is like nothing you’ve ever witnessed: “Startlingly unique…a must see for anyone who wants to see a kinder, gentler society.” (Huffington Post)
