Soul Rep Theatre: “Madam Queen” - IMPORTANT UPDATE

DUE TO A FAMILY ISSUE I WILL BE UNABLE TO ATTEND THIS PERFORMANCE.

I WILL TRY TO RESCHEDULE MY TICKET TO SUNDAY, APRIL 19, AND REPOST THE EVENT FOR THAT DAY.

I’ll leave this performance on the schedule for those who want to come tonight.

I’m very sorry to have to cancel out as host but I must attend to family this evening.

From the venue:

“Soul Rep Theatre Company is proud to present MADAM QUEEN, a fully staged world-premiere production of the final work by the late, beloved Dallas playwright diannetucker. This historical drama—developed with support from a TACA New Works grant—marks the culmination of a year-long creative journey and honors the enduring legacy of a visionary artist whose influence helped shape Soul Rep from its earliest days.

Inspired by the life of Hannah Elias, widely regarded as one of the wealthiest Black women of her era, Madam Queen brings to the stage a powerful portrait of ambition, resilience, and survival in turn-of-the-century New York. Through a bold and richly layered narrative, the play explores race, power, identity, and the cost of claiming space in a world determined to deny it.

Presented as a fully staged production, Madam Queen reflects diannetucker’s expansive storytelling style—blending history, spectacle, and emotional depth. The production stands as both a celebration of Black women’s leadership and an artistic tribute to a playwright whose voice continues to resonate.”
