30 days. Alone. Nothing but booze. Can she survive?

‘It Girl’ Amethyst Crystal has just arrived on XXX Island to film what she thinks is the hottest new reality dating show… but is actually a hardcore solo survival challenge. Stranded by producers of failing network ApeTV, she must last 30 days with zero survival skills and enough liquor to haze a whole frat. As her fears begin to manifest, she must brave the elements, drug-induced hallucinations, and a mysterious Production Assistant she can’t stop thinking about…

Join Amethyst on her desperate bid to return home to Instagram fame, brand deals, and heteronormativity. You’re watching real reality TV: a sadistic spectacle sure to be the guiltiest pleasure of all.

XXX Island runs Jan 18-20, 7:30pm at 18th & Union. Get your tickets now, starting at $10! Streaming also available.

Written and performed by Pearl Lam. Directed by Mario Orallo-Molinaro.
