Dialogue with Three Chords (D3C) continue their spring season with the second installment of WELCOME TO THE APOCALYPSE SURVIVORS CLUB on Thursday, March 28, at 8pm downstairs at Von Bar on 3 Bleecker Street, New York, NY 10012. Written by Stephen Gracia and directed by Michael LoPorto, WELCOME TO THE APOCALYPSE SURVIVORS CLUB is a season long collection of short plays about alien encounters and an apocalypse that never arrived. Admission is free with a $5 suggested donation.

Now in their eighth year bringing fresh, original, independent theater to lower Manhattan, D3C's ongoing effort WELCOME TO THE APOCALYPSE SURVIVORS CLUB features three new plays that blend past productions with new work. When I Dream, I See Strange Men, a series of alien abduction monologues, has combined with parts of The Apocalypse Survivors Club, a full-length work, to produce a brand new, serialized show.
​
This month features: Junked Machines & Salvaged Hearts, a play about junkyards, matchmaking services, and the price our angels pay for falling in love with us. Devil Town (A Miracle Play) rolls away the rocks of an old coal mining town to reveal the harrowing hell that lies beneath it. In Who Will Deliver Me from Myself, and Let My Trembling Spirits Fly? (And is thy earth so marred, shattered in shard on shard?) , a heart becomes the end of heaven and earth and a prison for the stars. To date, 121 original works have been written by Gracia and directed by LoPorto for D3C, which they co-founded in 2011.

The March performance of Welcome to the Apocalypse Survivors Club features: Kenny Wade Marshall Jessica Bathurst, John Caliendo, Anthony DeVito, Nicole Franz, Kenny Wade Marshall, Julie Orkis, Mickey Ryan and Tina Wong-Lu.

Dialogue with Three Chords (D3C) brings their seventh season of indie theater to a close by staging plays that confront institutional injustices. Written by Stephen Gracia and directed by Michael LoPorto, the show at the group's new venue of Von Bar starts at 7:30 PM on Thursday, May 24 at 3 Bleecker Street, New York, NY 10012.

D3C are offering a new play and "greatest hit" on this touring leg of their schedule. "For The Love Of Hopeless Causes" is a new work that tells the story of the Saint Patrick's Brigade, a group of Irish immigrants who enlisted in the United States army, but switched sides during the Mexican American War.

It will be presented alongside "The Two Swords Doctrine" which finds two catholic priests passing a flask between confession booths and deconstructing the church's position on sexual criminals within the clergy. This "greatest hit" was first staged in September of 2014 at Mr. Dennehy's. "Both plays deal with the ways people of faith confront institutional injustices," said Gracia, "and the consequences of truly standing with the oppressed and violated."

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.

"For The Love Of Hopeless Causes" features: Chris Donovan, Marisela Grajeda Gonzalez and Gil Ron.

"The Two Swords Doctrine" features: Ian Patrick Poake and Anthony DeVito.

Millenniums is getting very positive reviews on Amazon. Some viewers especially liked my character, John the Therapist. Check out what they had to say...

"Some of my favorite moments are anything with Alex, Mirror Ethan, Crazy Corey, and the unprofessional creepy and hilarious therapist!! it’s pretty clear these guys need as much help as possible. Hope to see more of their group therapy sessions!"
 
"You don't need to be a millennial to enjoy this show. Actually, watching the show made me really happy that I'm NOT in my twenties anymore. Everybody in the cast is good ... nicely shot... great views of NYC. Best character is the "World's Worst Therapist" --- definitely a keeper."
 
"Love the characters and their absurd world. Has an "Always Sunny" feel to it. I especially liked the interchange with the hapless therapist, played by Anthony DeVito, in episode 5. That guy is hilarious, even when delivering straight lines."

"Without a doubt, the funniest scenes are those with the very unprofessional therapist. I think these guys should have a therapy session in every episode! I'd be hooked if they did."
