Hello Out There is a play. One of six plays that was a part of the ‘New Directions’ Festival hosted by the University of Waterloo’s Drama Department.

Echoing voices that transcended through time to haunt the stage during this readapted version of William Saroyan's Hello Out There.

The play begins with a man in jail for an alleged rape. While waiting helplessly as a lynch mob gathers outside, the ensuing events between the prisoner and a lonely cook not only reveal whether he is innocent or guilty, but also demonstrates how love can be more powerful than a key to truly set someone's spirit free in the blunt face of an oppressive society.
