About the Performer
Plasma is a vintage-inspired femme fatale straight out of Old Hollywood. Raised listening to Julie Andrews, Judy Garland, and Barbra Streisand, Plasma channeled her love for divas into drag…and the rest is history. She has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in musical theater performance and was a contestant on Season 16 of RuPaul’s Drag Race.
Enjoy More That the Museum Offers

About the 1885 Tall Ship Wavertree
Wavertree was built at Southampton, England, in 1885 and, after a 24-year sailing career and circumnavigating the globe at least three times, is now the last remaining iron-hulled three-masted full-rigged cargo ship. Today, Wavertree serves as the iconic centerpiece of the bustling waterfront that shaped New York City into a modern metropolis.
Please note that boarding the tall ship Wavertree requires climbing a small set of ladder-type stairs and an angled gangway.
