Dialogue With Three Chords Goes On Tour To NoHo Venue

Dialogue with Three Chords (D3C) lost their home of nearly 7 years last month when Mr. Dennehy's in Greenwich Village closed their doors. The group has decided to take their monthly readings on tour for the rest of their seventh season of indie theatre, landing at NoHo at Von Bar for their performance on Thursday, April 19. The show starts at 7:30PM on 3 Bleecker Street, New York, NY 10012. Admission is free with a $5 suggested donation.

The night will feature a new play along with at D3C "greatest hit." The new work, "One Bad Day is not a Sign of Madness," centers on an estranged daughter who returns to care for her ailing mother. "Both try to come to terms with their violent pasts," said playwright Stephen Gracia.

The greatest hit is the "The Last Days of the Brave and the Bold," which sees William Marston and comic book censor Fredric Wertham meet for a drink and a discussion of Nietzsche, superheroes, and bondage. Both plays are directed by Michael LoPorto.

Gracia and LoPorto co-founded D3C in 2011 as DIY theatre nights to bring free, original, punk rock basement theatre back to a New York City that increasingly is losing its artistic movements and spaces to rising rents. In that time they've partnered with the Brooklyn College BFA program, and raised money for a number of charitable organizations that benefit the arts, veterans groups, and New York area causes.

"One Bad Day is not a Sign of Madness" features: Ramona Floyd as Katherine, and Tess Richie as Renee.

"The Last Days of the Brave and the Bold' features: Larry Greenbush as Fredric Wertham, and Steve Weinblatt as William Marston.
