Matt Mark’s Shame Remixes
A composer of serious skill, vivid imagination and chutzpah (as proved by his sensational musical-theater work-in-progress, The Little Death) Matt Marks oversees an evening of pieces from an ongoing series inspired by guilty pleasures—his, and others’. Expect to hear strains of Madonna, Sade, Taylor Swift and various Disney ditties as rendered by Marks’s funky bunch—Kathleen Supové, James Moore, Gareth Flowers, Kelli Kathman and Andie Springer—then bolster your snob quotient by pretending you didn’t recognize anything.
