Taylor Mac and Matt Ray An Evening from the Queer Songbook

Shubert Theatre and Yale Schwarzman Center Present: MacArthur Fellowship-winning icon Taylor Mac reunites with Obie Award-winning composer Matt Ray "the musical nexus of New York's alt-cabaret scene" (The New York Times), for an evening that invites all to reflect on queer lineage. Mac and Ray join to celebrate on the night of the book release of Bark of Millions, an original, illustrated songbook that "provides a source for poetic contemplation, a queer terroir out of which new forms of life can grow." (Vulture, NY Mag). Inspired by queer figures past and present, the duo crafts an expansive new canon of original songs, inviting audiences into a space of reflection, community, and exuberant celebration. Electrifying, provocative, and disarming, this intimate duet evening is an open call to community and celebration.
