“Tie My Heart to the Hitchin’ Post (So It Don’t Runaway with You)” finds a country music star opening the first Lesbian bar in Nashville, and a group of LGBTQ+ Country songwriters reckon with the genre’s history in “A Radical History of Missing Pronouns, Double-Entendres, and Novelty Songs.”<\/p>\n
D3C formed in the summer of 2011, when Gracia and LoPorto joined forces. Together, they aim to strip away the barriers between audiences and fresh, Original Theatre<\/a>. In contrast to the typical theatrical process of workshopping a play behind closed doors before the public is able to see a performance, D3C has a “one-and-done” process.<\/p>\n In the week leading up to a D3C performance, actors come together for just one rehearsal, lending an immediacy to the work that is often lost during a traditional development period. This also allows for the participation of a diverse and ever-growing group of artists who donate their time and talent to their performances.<\/p>\n This 15th D3C season is the company’s third year in residency with bkONE at the Tom Kane Theatre after over a decade of “punk rock basement theatre” performances presented in non-traditional spaces.<\/p>\n
