After an acclaimed Chicago premiere, The Tank presents the New York premiere of QUEEN FOR A DAY, a new comedy by Tyler Anthony Smith, directed by Stephanie Shaw.

In QUEEN FOR A DAY, American fashion designer Halston is down on his luck. He’s packing up his chic-as-hell Olympic Tower office for reasons he doesn’t want to discuss. To make matters worse, Elizabeth I is knocking on his door. Yes, Elizabeth I, whose reign as Queen of England ended in 1603. But it’s 1984 in New York City. All that time spent at Studio 54 might be starting to catch up to him. Elizabeth I demands that he make her a new gown to die in. Oh, and she needs it by the end of the day. Halston agrees, and the unlikely pair moves forward with the design of a lifetime. That is, until Halston’s best friend, Liza Minnelli, shows up seeking help with her new act.
