Featuring Mark H. Dold (Broadway's The Inheritance) and written by Raffael Pacitti, this one-person play is a fictionalized version of the interview that lead to a seminal New York Times article about the legendary designer.
Throughout the interview, a young, unseen, yet ever-present journalist learns about varied aspects of Halston's life and career.

We hear about the visionary work that not only gripped the fashion world for decades, but also helped shape the evolution of identity, gender politics, sexuality and style- in America and around the world.
