A Taylor Mac Holiday Show, Tweaked for the Pandemic

The playwright, performance artist, and sprite Taylor Mac (above) does holiday cheer with a twist of subversion. In 2017, Mac, who uses the gender-neutral pronoun “judy,” débuted “Holiday Sauce,” a vaudevillian romp emphasizing alternative family over Christmas capitalism, at Town Hall. This year, it goes virtual. On Dec. 12, Mac performs “Holiday Sauce . . . Pandemic!” (available online through Jan. 2), featuring music, burlesque, a tribute to queer elders, and designs by Mac’s frequent collaborator and fellow-maximalist Machine Dazzle.
