New York, NY (July 2, 2024) Little Island presents CHILDISH GAMBINO LIVE FROM LITTLE

Little Island’s first annual, four-month-long summer season of world premieres, which kicked off on
June 1, features a total of nine newly commissioned pieces. Little Island’s new arts program moves
towards the future with a commitment to a multi-year roster of original work, all commissioned by
and developed at Little Island. Bookended by the premiere of choreographer Twyla Tharp’s newest
work How Long Blues and a 90-minute remix of Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro in which outré
opera diva Anthony Roth Costanzo sings every leading role, the season offers premieres of
varying scales across all areas of performance – including music, dance, theater, opera, comedy,
jazz, pop, and funk, all outdoors and directly sited on the Hudson River at 14
th
Street in New York
City. The Amph, the park’s 700-seat amphitheater, will house larger scale performances at a $25
ticket price, while The Glade, the park’s 200-seat venue, will be home to more intimate works, all of
which will be completely free to the public.

Little Island, the 2.4-acre park that sits along the Hudson River, opened in May 2021 and has since
been enjoyed by 4.6 million visitors. In 2013, Barry Diller, in partnership with Hudson River Park
Trust leadership, embarked on the unique opportunity to envision a solution for the repair and
reactivation of Pier 54, which had been badly damaged by Hurricane Sandy. The park was
designed as an entirely new type of public space for New York, one that would create an immersive
experience of nature and art. Born from a collaboration of the UK-based Heatherwick Studio and
the New York-based landscape architecture firm MNLA, led by Signe Nielsen, the park’s
imaginative design offers all New Yorkers and visitors a new public space that is dynamic,
captivating, and restorative.
Little Island is operated year-round by a 50-member staff co-helmed by Producing Artistic Director
Zack Winokur and Executive Director Laura Clement.
