In an underground future not so far from now, teenagers Kansas and James try to escape a terrifying (new?) world order. The regime known as The Realm controls not only water and other natural resources but also the ability of its citizens to remember words themselves. As Kansas and James fight for the right to speak, choose, and desire, their journey overlaps with that of a mysterious woman who refuses to submit to The Realm despite the high price she pays for her resistance. Sarah Myers' The Realm stages urgent questions about the relationship between language, power, solidarity, and survival.

The Cast for The Realm include: Esme Ayvar-Perez (Kansas), Gay Glenn (Ms. Analyst), Bryson David Hoff (ensemble), Abdu Hytrek (James), Savanna Rae (ensemble), Carin Silkaitis (Laura), Sarah Taylor (Mrs. Mother), and Philip Winston (Mr. Father).

The production crew for The Realm includes: Sarah Myers (playwright), Kelly Howe (director), Emily Lowney (stage manager), Noelle Humbert (casting director), Stephen Kossak (casting assistant), Lizzie Bracken (scenic designer), Matt Carney (lighting designer), Michael Johannsen (technical director), Ashley Pettit (sound designer) and Olivia Crary (costume designer).
