Dialogue with Three Chords to Stage THE WAY OUT IS THE ONLY WAY, 4/23

Year four of Dialogue with Three Chords (D3C) continues as D3C co-founders Stephen Gracia and Michael LoPorto again team with alma-mater Brooklyn College to present "The Way Out is the Only Way."

The performance features four plays about small miracles, first loves, and rebirth. This partnership with Brooklyn College's BFA Acting program pairs undergrads with D3C's seasoned collective actors. Last month's spring season opening show was filled to capacity, and saw all donations go towards the BFA actors' showcase.

LoPorto will direct all four of the new shorts: "Nightswimming," "Mondrian Static," "The Gentle Religion of Small Fish," and "Let Us Rid Ourselves of All Our Accidents."

The performance will feature live music from Gina Pensiero.

Admission is free, with a $3 suggested donation. The show starts at 8pm on April 23 at Dennehy's on 63 Carmine Street, New York, NY 10014. More information on Dialogue with Three Chords can be found at www.dthreec.org.
