A Night at Guild Hall With Taylor Mac

Guild Hall will host MacArthur Fellow, drag icon and award-winning performer Taylor Mac for “Taylor Mac: Born To Run (To and From the Hamptons),” on Friday, September 27, at 7 p.m.

In Mac’s first-ever performance on the East End, the evening of songs will feature recent works written in collaboration with composer and music director Matt Ray, with performances by Mac, Matt Ray, alongside incomparable band members Viva DeConcini, Gary Wang, and Shirazette Tinnin and produced by Pomegranate Arts.

Mac will puncture New York’s beautiful bubble with a set built to meet Hamptonites on their own turf via a fresh look at our fragile democracy. This performance includes Mac’s signature banter and recent works, including songs from the 24-Decade project and Bark of Millions, a new rock opera meditation on queerness.
