A-Típico: A New Latinx Play Festival features 6 plays by Latinx playwrights—four full-length and two one-acts—that will leave audiences with jaws dropped, hearts full, and feeling artistically refreshed. The lineup features plays that are in Spanish, in English and Bilingual.


The festival will be presented in the style of a workshop. The company and audience will have the opportunity to give the playwrights feedback to help them in the development of their work.
