| The Young Ladies of... (Taylor Mac) | 
In 1968, 2nd Lt. Robert Mac Bowyer (Taylor’s father), while stationed in Vietnam, placed an ad asking “young ladies” to write him. Thousands replied. Thirty years after his father's death, Taylor uses the letters and his own text and songs to create a conversation intermingling patriarchy, war, romance, and fatherhood. By juxtaposing his Texan father’s army life in 1960’s Vietnam with his own life as a New York City drag/pastiche artist, the work bridges the gap between masculinity and femininity, fathers and sons, and red and blue states.
The Young Ladies Of was a New York Magazine Critic's Pick and has been nominated for two New York Innovative Theater Awards, Best Solo Performance and Best Performance Art Production, and has toured the US and Sweden. Upcoming engagements include Queer Up North and the Norwich and Norfolk Festival in the UK.

| The Be(A)st of Taylor Mac | 
A flamboyant chameleon of words, music and socio-political tirades, multi-award-winning New York sensation Taylor Mac sings of life and love, doubt and fear. Funny and moving with a sweet, powerful voice, this is an evening of gender-bending surrealism that explores the human condition and global politics. Oh, and he plays the ukulele.
This production, directed by OBIE-Award-winner David Drake, has toured the US, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, Australia, and Sweden and has received numerous awards , including a Herald Angel Award (Edinburgh), Latest 7 Award (Brighton), Argus Angel Award (Brighton), Best of Brighton Review Award, and a GLAAD Media Award Nomination (New York City).

"Quite the most distinctive and brilliant performer I've witnessed in ages." 5 stars - The Scotsman
"An unflinching witness to a host of societies ills...linked together by a gentle impassioned humanity and a wry humor that can have you helpless with laughter, then overcome by an urge to weep - and ultimately left thinking and wanting to make life better" - The Herald
