Hoover-Leppen Theater at Center on Halsted (Chicago, IL)
The Young Ladies Of... is a classic father-son tale -- with glitter and a ukulele. In 1968, while stationed in Vietnam, Lt. Robert Mac (Taylor's father) placed an ad asking "young ladies" to write him. Thousands replied. Renowned theatre artist Taylor Mac uses those letters, songs and his own text to juxtapose his father's army life in Texas with his own as a drag/pastiche artist in New York.
