Taylor Mac (born 1973) is an actor, playwright, performance artist, director, and singer-songwriter active mainly in New York City. ==Performance work== Mac's work has been described as a fight against conformity and categorization.〔Fitzgerald, James. (2010) "The Lily's Revenge." ''Theatre Journal.'' Volume 62, Number 3. pp. 457-458〕 It draws on forms such as commedia dell'arte, contemporary musical theater, and drag performance, and Mac has noted Charles Ludlam, the Theater of the Ridiculous, and theatrical history reaching back to Greek theater as professional influences.〔Taylor Mac. "(Taylor Mac ). Interview for Theaterjones.com. Video by Mark Lowry. 2010.〕 Mac's work has been performed at New York City's Lincoln Center, the Public Theater, the Sydney Opera House, American Repertory Theatre, Stockholm's Sodra Theatern, the Spoleto Festival, as well as many other venues both in the United States and internationally. Mac is a self-described "fool" and "collagist" who puts together forms and costumes to create a complex and sometimes contradictory look and sound.〔Svich, Caridad. "Glamming it Up with Taylor Mac." ''American Theatre.'' November 2008.〕 Mac has resisted categorization by the press: after being described as Ziggy Stardust meets Tiny Tim, Mac created the show ''Comparison Is Violence, or the Ziggy Stardust Meets Tiny Tim Songbook.''〔Armstrong-Morris, Greg. "The incomparable Taylor Mac" ''XTRA!'' Pink Triangle Press. January 26, 2012.〕 Mac toured Europe with the plays ''The Be(A)st of Taylor Mac'' and ''The Young Ladies Of.'' Mac then developed ''The Lily's Revenge'', combination of "camp extravaganza" and "comic self-deprecation" centered on the hero's journey of a lily that uproots itself to fight against nostalgia.〔Fitzgerald, James. (2010) "The Lily's Revenge." ''Theatre Journal.'' Volume 62, Number 3. pp. 457-458〕 The play takes place during Ronald Reagan's funeral, who is figured as the leader of the nostalgia movement.〔Svich, Caridad. "Glamming it Up with Taylor Mac." ''American Theatre.'' November 2008.〕 ''The Lily's Revenge'' played at HERE Arts Center. In 2014, for Mac's performance in the Foundry Theater's production of Bertolt Brecht's Good Person of Szechwan, Mac was nominated for the Lucille Lortel Outstanding Lead Actor Award and the Drama League Distinguished Performance Award.
