Taylor Mac, a Pulitzer Prize finalist for the marathon performance piece A 24-Decade History of Popular Music, will present a holiday special in the same vein this December. Taylor Mac's 24-Decade History: Holiday Sauce will play The Town Hall in New York December 12.

The show explores the catalog of holiday songs through various eras—carrying with them their own forms of anxiety and calamity. Mac will again work with designer Machine Dazzle and music director Matt Ray—both are longtime collaborators with judy (Mac's preferred pronoun).
