Dialogue with Three Chords and BrooklynONE present THE KRAMPUS

BRONX, N.Y. - Dec. 13, 2018 - EntSun -- Dialogue with Three Chords (D3C) and BrooklynONE (bkONE) Productions team to present THE KRAMPUS from playwright Stephen Gracia. A group of friends bond at a bar on Christmas Eve and share their childhood fears of the Krampus, a real figure from Norse mythology who was a demonic companion to Santa Claus. Directed by Michael LoPorto, who founded D3C with Gracia, the darkly funny show features original music in the form of bawdy holiday carols. The show starts at 8:00pm on Tuesday, December 18 at St. John's Lutheran Chruch, 81 Christopher Street, New York, NY 10014. There is a $5 suggested donation.

In "The Krampus," an old circle of friends seek to banish holiday stress as they gather at a Brooklyn bar to drink and commiserate. They sing songs, cracks jokes, and tell stories that are by turns heartfelt and heartbreaking, while others are simply filthy. The lighthearted banter soon takes on a more personal tone, as the group reflect on their own childhoods and memories of the Krampus story. The show features strong language and sexual situations.
