The show features 55 original songs by theater masterminds Taylor Mac, a MacArthur Fellow, Ibsen Award winner, and Pulitzer Prize finalist, and Matt Ray, Obie Award-winning composer. "Why 55? It's one for every year following Stonewall." The songs are performed by a powerhouse collective of 23 international artists. With the fierce elation of a pride parade, Bark of Millions is a luxuriant, provocative spectacle unlike any other.
