Experience the extraordinary artistry of Taylor Mac in a brand-new concert at San Francisco’s Curran Theatre on Friday, November 6, 2026, at 7:30 PM PT. A celebrated performance artist, writer, director, actor, and singer, Mac returns to the Curran for an evening that promises to be far more than a traditional concert. Known for fearless experimentation and a deeply engaging stage presence, Mac creates performances that invite audiences to experience music, theater, identity, and community in unexpected ways.
Taylor Mac has become an important figure in contemporary performance through work that frequently challenges conventional ideas about what theater and live performance can be. Their joyful, charismatic, and vulnerable approach creates a direct connection with audiences, transforming spectators into active participants in the atmosphere of the performance. This new concert continues that spirit while offering an opportunity to experience Mac’s artistry in an intimate live setting.
Mac’s connection to San Francisco runs deep. Raised in Stockton, California, Mac came to San Francisco as a teenager for the first AIDS march in 1983, an experience that would become influential in their artistic journey. That connection eventually led to A 24-Decade History of Popular Music, the ambitious 24-hour performance presented over four performances at the Curran Theatre in September 2017. Mac later returned to the venue with Holiday Sauce in 2018 and participated in a virtual presentation during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
The upcoming concert offers another opportunity for San Francisco audiences to welcome Mac back to the Curran and experience their distinctive blend of music, theater, storytelling, and performance art.
