Following a limited run in June, The Pansy Craze—the six-part series written and created by Hunter Bird and Mason Alexander Park—will offer its final three performances November 20–22 at Audible’s Minetta Lane Theatre.
Hosted by Park, and featuring Lachlan Watson, the live performances will be directed by Bird. Each episode of The Pansy Craze will also be recorded live
and released June 4, 2026, as an Audible Original. The upcoming recording is currently available for pre-order by clicking here.
The Pansy Craze blends
the dazzle of a cabaret with the intimacy of a piano bar, honoring the
queer icons who paved the way. Each
evening unfolds through songs, sketches, and storytelling, spotlighting moments in history when queerness was celebrated, commodified, and
then criminalized.
In June, guests Jackie Cox, Evan Rachel Wood, and Laverne Cox joined Park on the Minetta Lane Theatre stage for The Pansy Craze’s first three episodes. Special guests for the November shows will be announced at a later date.
Performer-writer Park starred in back-to-back Jamie Lloyd productions in the West End: The Tempest as Ariel and Much Ado About Nothing as Margaret. They also played The Emcee in the West End revival of Cabaret. Mason can be seen on screen as Dr. Ian Wright in NBC’s Quantum Leap sequel series, Gren in the Netflix live-action adaptation of Cowboy Bebop, Desire in The Sandman, and in Amazon’s Critical Role: The Legend of Vox Machina.
Brooklyn-based director, writer, and theatrical creator Bird has spent over a decade developing plays, musicals,
concert experiences, and more. Projects include Bronco Billy: The Musical, XY,
and three plays with Manhattan Theatre Club as Lynne Meadow’s associate director. Bird’s writing credits include She Reached for Heaven and The Golden Record.
Theatrical supervision is by Beacon Theatrical Services with general management by ShowTown Theatricals.
