 WONDER ISLAND: THE TRASH COVERED CONCHO
Welcome to Wonder Island! A tropical getaway tucked away in an unknown quadrant of the hot Pacific waters, where the multiverse of your imagination is blown wide open and you also get to swim a little. Join Jon, Ari and the cast of Wonder Island each month as they face new threats and strange beings. With Ari prepping for the nomination of Wonder Island's coveted Head Concho position, Jon decides to not care and finds himself in an unlikely position.

Evidence is a low-stakes performance series organized to showcase the various artistic backgrounds of the current candidates in Performance Studies at NYU Tisch School of the Arts. The name 'Evidence' draws upon José Muñoz's seminal 'Ephemera as Evidence.' With his presence deeply missed in the department, his influence on the staff and students still lingers. We saw his potential for queer world-making and Utopia as a call left unanswered. In our small way we hope these performances will be ephemeral pieces of evidence that said, "we were here." And, perhaps, we'll find we've created a small sense of Utopia in the process. Performances in this installment of Evidence will explore in different aspects of "The Party".

The Parsnip Ship is an intimate series of plays performed before live audiences and then made accessible as a monthly podcast. Hosted by Iyvon Edebiri and Eric Borlaug, the series aims to build community by exploring diverse perspectives and by bringing awareness to inspiring voices.
