Description
Taylor has been thinking a lot about Pandora’s Box. On a separate note, they need your help making something special. // The details of this (mostly) true story about the performer are best left a surprise, but suffice to say: Taylor can’t wait to meet you. Winner of the NoProscenium Award for Outstanding Achievement in an Individual Performance. Critics say: “extraordinary,” “indelible,” “deeply powerful,” “ridiculously fun,” “hopeful,” “life-affirming,” “an otherworldly space for joyful exchange and intimate catharsis,” “uniquely, profoundly beautiful”
