Taylor Mac: Born to Run (to Provincetown)

August 9, 2024 at 7:30pm at Provincetown Town Hall

Join us for Taylor Mac: Born to Run (to Provincetown) in Concert on Friday August 9 at Town Hall for a special Payomet Road Show.
Theater artist Taylor Mac (who prefers “judy” as a gender pronoun) has long embodied the irreverent ethos of Provincetown, not just “defy[ing] categorization; [but making] the categories themselves seem irrelevant.” (TIMEOUT) Despite making Cape Cod’s bohemian bastion an annual retreat, Mac will take its stage after a too-long hiatus– appropriately decked-out and bedazzled, of course. We are privileged to present this long awaited return one of the great, genre-breaking Pulitzer Prize nominated performers of our time for a one-night-only ode to this extraordinary place.

Get ready for an evening of uproarious laughter as the iconic comedian Paula Poundstone takes center stage at Provincetown Town Hall on Saturday, August 10 for a Payomet Road Show.
