WordOut Theater will present un/reality, a festival of six incisive contemporary one-act plays from rising playwrights, over two weekends at Caveat in Manhattan and The RAT in Brooklyn.


Each work considers opposing views on an often startling shared reality. Sharp satire, techno-philosophy, surrealism, and grounded human drama are all represented in the full program. Plays were chosen via a submission process and developed through a series of collaborative workshops over the past year.
