Christmas as Calamity!
A Virtual Vaudeville

Holiday Sauce… Pandemic! blends music, film, burlesque and random acts of fabulousness in the most subversive and cathartic event of the season! 2020 Ibsen Award winner and MacArthur Fellow Taylor Mac (who uses “judy” as a gender pronoun) invites long-time collaborators and surprise special guests to celebrate the holidays in all of their dysfunction.

There is more to the holidays than rampant capitalism and gift giving. In a distinctly bittersweet holiday season, Taylor Mac reminds us of the collective power of our chosen families.

“Mac casts a cathartic spell…for all those who find caroling, eggnog and enforced family visits destabilizing.” (Los Angeles Times)
