As Colorado Springs theater companies go, Theatre d’ Art practically lives outside the box. This year’s iteration of its popular short works festival, “Theatregasm = 6,” features 11 locally written plays produced by local directors and actors. Be prepared for comedy, drama and the “just plain weird,” says artistic director Brian Mann. It runs 8 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through Aug. 26; theatredart.org.
