Taylor Mac gets ready for a show in this short film by Matthew Snead.

Assembling hi striking persona before a show, Taylor Mac eyes the mirror as his masterly hands get to work. With sequins and finery in place, he breaks the silence for a vocal warm-up and then exits, leaving any reflections by the dressing room door.

Taylor Mac is a theater artist, which means he’s a playwright, actor, singer-songwriter, cabaret performer, performance artist, and sometime director and producer.  TimeOut New York has called him, “One of the most exciting theater artists of our time” (naming him the best cabaret performer in New York, in 2012, and a future theater legend).
