 (Kevin Yatarola)

Raised in Stockton, Taylor Mac tells a story of how he stole away to San Francisco as a teen and saw gay people for the first time during a pride parade. The playwright, performance artist, and self-professed “radical, liberal queer” was named by the Village Voice as New York City’s best actor in 2013. Mac returns to the Bay Area this month with a show that was inspired by that long-ago visit to San Francisco, “A 24-Decade History of Popular Music.”

Guests:

Taylor Mac, singer/songwriter and playwright, he'll appear in "A 24-Decade History of Popular Music" at the Curran theatre
