Dialogue With Three Chords and BkONE Celebrate Pride Month and Their 175th Original Work With a LGBTQIA2S+ Fundraiser

Dialogue with Three Chords (D3C) and brooklynONE productions will celebrate Pride Month by presenting their 175th original play at Brooklyn's Industry City alongside some older works, all which center on queer characters and themes, and are donating all ticket proceeds to the Brooklyn Pride Community Center.

Written by Stephen Gracia and directed by Michael LoPorto, the show starts at 8pm on Thursday, June 27th at the Tom Kane Theatre in Brooklyn's Industry City at 51 35th St, Brooklyn, NY 11232, on the first floor of Building 5, next to St. Mark's Comics.

Tickets are $5 but no one will be turned away who cannot pay. Just walk right in, we're glad to see you. D3C will cover the donation.

"These plays are about coming to terms with your identity and believing that you are worthy of love," Gracia says, "and as someone who came out a little later in life, they are incredibly personal."

In the new 175th play, "The Strategy of Two Heavens as One," Joshua tells the story of his first love, his last love, and all the tragedy and joy in-between.

Also presented is: "An Ill Sound in One's Pronunciation or The Ways a Twang can Affect the Temperature of the Blood" in which a young woman livestreams her coming out and departure from her small southern town.

In "Our Ways are Not Your Ways" Bram Stoker and Nosferatu director F. W. Murnau meet in a bar and discuss the supernatural, secret love, and the benefits of living only at night.

In "And If These Wings Should Fail Me Lord," a woman running from her past and the approaching apocalypse finds her reason for living drinking alone in an Arkansas bar.

Tickets can be purchased at the box office or online: https://www.bkone.org/tix

Dialogue with Three Chords is presented by brooklynONE Productions (bkONE), who founded the Tom Kane Theatre at Industry City. BkONE Co-founder Anthony Marino proudly presents this new series of plays, calling D3C "our sister company and family."
