about The residency

the bkONE + D3C partnership
Tucked inside the Tom Kane Theatre, the Dialogue with Three Chords (D3C) residency at brooklynONE productions is pure grit and theatrical soul. This isn’t just another indie theatre collab—it’s a punk-fueled, serialized storytelling engine where raw emotion meets poetic chaos.

Founded by Stephen Gracia, Michael LoPorto and Edie Nugent, D3C cut its teeth in bar basements, telling stories about belief, heartbreak, and apocalyptic magic. At bkONE, they’ve found the perfect home to stretch their wings without selling out—an intimate, flexible space that thrives on risk, experimentation, and repeat engagement.

Each chapter in their ongoing narrative universe hits like a live mixtape—part theatre, part sermon, part punk show—with returning audiences coming for the vibe as much as the stories. And with $5 tickets and an ethos rooted in accessibility and authenticity, this residency is what real Brooklyn theatre looks like: bold, weird, and absolutely alive.

Welcome to the future of underground theatre.
