Off-Off-Runway The Tank Gala 2026

Join us for Fashion's Biggest Night, where haute couture goes downtown. Strut the catwalk Off-Off-Runway to celebrate Stan Zimmerman, a creative force from Golden Girls to Gilmore Girls to The Tank—and now to the most anticipated red carpet of the year.

The evening is hosted by Mariyea (reigning Miss Bushwig 2025) with special guests Wilson Cruz (Star Trek: Discovery on Paramount+; Mother of the Bride on Netflix; Rickie Vasquez on My So-Called Life), Paige Davis (host of the Emmy-nominated design-reality series Trading Spaces), and Pooya Mohseni (English at Roundabout Theater; The Amazon Warehouse Parking Lot with Playwrights Horizons), the show-stopping queer rock experience Apocalypse Noir, and a special appearance by Golem (and his human keepers, Ethan & Garrett).
