Klecksography Playwrights Open Call 2025
Rorschach will choose six playwrights to write short plays for Klecksography 2025, the process running from August 9 -16, 2025. Klecksography is a week long project during which we create, stage and perform six new short plays. All playwrights will be compensated with a $100 honorarium. Rorschach will cast the projects and connect playwrights with their actors/director. Read more at https://rorschachtheatre.com/open-call-2025/.

[Hypothetically] if we commissioned you and three other people to adapt a story what would make your version distinct? where would we see your signature style and vision?
