Three Day Hangover to Build Community with THE EMPOWER HOUR

THREE DAY HANGOVER - the acclaimed interactive theater company - will present EmPOWER HOUR! on July 25, 2016 at 7:30 PM 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 100% of the proceeds going to local charities dedicated to ending gun violence and advocating for social justice. You can reserve online or donate at www.threedayhangover.com. Tickets will also be available at the door

Remember, you're a powerful force for positive change, and we're even stronger when we stand together. We hope you'll join us.
