RANSOM Once billed as one of New York's rising stars, Foden now finds himself at the bottom of a trash heap. In a bid of desperation he plots a series of feats each more outlandish than the last in an attempt to revitalise his rapidly fading acting career. Before his plans can be executed however, he will discover that his route to the top was always right in front of him.

JUNTOS was founded in 2008 by Ailey/Fordham BFA student Joanna Poz-Molesky. Originally intended for a one-time international trip to Mexico in 2009, JUNTOS quickly expanded to an organization bridging performance, community outreach, and intercultural exchange. Today, JUNTOS conducts six volunteer programs from one-day outreach opportunities to year-long leadership work. JUNTOS continues growing each year: outreach trips, dance volunteers involved, collaborators, and workshops among many more aspects.

TAP FESTIVAL co-curated by Alison Manning 92nd St Y and AOS, presenting 4 artists.

COMEDY NIGHT in collaboration with Vspot vegan restaurant and their ongoing comedy night, featuring comedians, food and drinks!

Arts On Site is a women-led nonprofit arts organization dedicated to providing artists with opportunities to create and perform new work. Arts On Site began as an event to showcase artists. The event was an initiative from professional artists Chelsea Ainsworth, Kyle Netzeband, and Adrian Rosas, to connect artists from multiple art forms. As the event grew, a diverse community of artists grew and the concept for Arts On Site was born.
