Summary: Each year, 250,000 people move to NYC. Who stays? Who leaves? And with more people moving in than out, is the number of years you choose to inhabit this island a blessing or a curse? Through live music, song, personal stories and short fiction, ON THIS ISLAND, Ep. 8 "Siren Song" invites the audience to explore their long-term relationship with this port of call. Is its siren song to be trusted? Guest hosted by company co-founder Adam Knight, performers will include opera sensation Anita Rachvelishvili, author Jen McGuire, folk singer Jay Brannan, filmmaker Jeff Seal, actor-writer Jiehae Park, actors Brett Robinson and Natalie Rich, all backed by the Phil Pickens Band with Daniel Kwiatkowski and Scott Davis.
