ABOUT THIS PROJECT

THE PANSY CRAZE

by Mason Alexander Park & Hunter Bird
Starring Mason Alexander Park
Directed by Hunter Bird

The Pansy Craze is a theatrical concert series starring Mason Alexander Park (Sandman, Quantum Leap) following multiple periods in history where queerness was celebrated, commodified, consumed, and then criminalized. Part concert and part queer history lesson, The Pansy Craze revives legendary queer icons through the songs of the 1930s, the glam rock 1970s, and contemporary queer anthems.

Multiple concert presentations, including special guests Darren Criss, Eden Espinosa, Trent Saunders, Sav Souza, Chani Whirly

Press

“It would be nice to say that a wonderful cabaret show played The Green Room 42 on Saturday night. It would be nice to say that a fabulous concert was performed at The Green Room 42 on Saturday night. It would be nice to say but it wouldn't be accurate. For what occurred at The Green Room 42 Saturday night wasn't cabaret and it wasn't a concert. It was a happening. This was one of those nights that doesn't come along every day, every week, even every month... although... with Mason Alexander Park in the center spot, indeed with Mason Alexander Park in the room, maybe it is something that comes along every day. There is every chance and every evidence that wherever Mason Alexander Park is, there is a Happening.” - BroadwayWorld
