Klecksography Directors Open Call 2020
Rorschach will employ six directors to work on Klecksography 2020 from July 31 through August 9, 2020. Klecksography is a week long project during which we create, stage and perform six new short plays. One of the goals of this project is to connect actors, directors & playwrights with artists and producers they may not yet know and there will be opportunities to be seen and network with other theatre companies besides Rorschach Theatre. (Already signed up are Arena Stage, Mosaic Theatre, Imagination Stage, 1st Stage, and Adventure Theatre with more to come.) All participants in Klecksography will be compensated with a $100 honorarium. Rorschach will cast the projects and connect directors with their script/playwright.

DEADLINE: Monday, June 29 @ 11:59PM EST
