Carrie Preston, Frankie Alvarez, Suzy Hunt and More Join Tonight's EMPOWER HOUR

THREE DAY HANGOVER - the acclaimed interactive theater company - has announced their lineup of talent for their new EmPOWER HOUR! tonight, July 25, 2016 at 7:30 PM.

The event will feature Carrie Preston (Emmy Award winner, "The Good Wife," "True Blood," NBC's "Crowded"), Suzy Hunt (FX's "The Americans," Rogerandtom), Frankie Alvarez (HBO's "Looking"), January LaVoy (ABC's "One Life to Live," Enron), Nick Choksi (Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812) and Christopher Ryan Grant (Million Dollar Quartet), with others to be added. EmPOWER HOUR! takes place at Carragher's Pub & Restaurant (228 W. 39th Street, between 7th and 8th Avenues.)

The violence, senselessness, rage, inequality and inhumanity overflowing our news feeds and filling our daily life is overwhelming. With a wall of hate standing so tall before us, how can we even start to tear it down?

Three Day Hangover has decided to respond by doing what they're good at: gathering our community and making something positive happen. They're re-imagining the "Power Hour" by presenting Three Day Hangover's EmPOWER HOUR! Sixty minutes packed with thoughtful expressions of strength, hope and compassion that answer the question, "What empowers you?"

We're going to gather together to raise a glass and celebrate all the things we're sure about - community, creativity, bravery and, especially, love as the strongest force for change we've got. We're going to harness the power of storytelling, artistic expression and honest-to-goodness, face-to-face conversation to remember what makes us strong. An amazing lineup of performers will come at you hard with magical moments to connect us, inform us, delight us and remind us of the best angels of our nature. We'll share resources for those interested in getting educated and getting involved, and all evening we'll be raising funds for a number of organizations that advocate for social justice and gun control.

We won't solve all the problems we're facing in a night, but we'll envision together what steps we can take to start to make the world a better place.

Tickets are PAY WHAT YOU CAN, with the proceeds going to several organizations including New Yorkers Against Gun Violence, Urban Justice Center, Cure Violence, and more. Representatives from the organizations will be on hand to supply information on how to get involved. In addition to all ticket proceeds, 20% of the bar sales are being donated by Carragher's Pub & Restaurant to support the cause. There will also be a raffle featuring amazing items including Broadway and off-Broadway tickets, gift cards to several restaurants, hand crafted leather goods, and more.

You can reserve online or donate at www.threedayhangover.com. Tickets will also be available at the door.
