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 online 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.

The stories all vary greatly in subject, theme, setting, and their exploration of human nature:
