Three Chords of the Apocalypse: A Transcriber’s Tale

Emerging Artists Theatre will present Three Chords of the Apocalypse: A Transcriber’s Tale , written and performed by Joanna Parson and directed by Aimee Todoroff. The workshop production is part of the 2022 New Work Series.

Welcome to a bustling transcription office in New York City in 2001, where typists are busy listening to — and typing out — raw interviews for pulpy television shows and other mass media. The ultimate eavesdropper in a storm of sound bites, cliches and unexpected confessions, Joanna Parson presents a unique musical monologue that shows you what happens when a young woman with a sense of humor and a Guild guitar tries to keep her sanity and heart intact in the center of the news cycle.
