Open Call Auditions 2026/2027
Rorschach's 2026/2027 season will include two full productions, performing in October/November 2026 and March/April 2027. There will also be a variety of opportunities throughout the season for readings and small projects - including Klecksography in August 2026. Additionally, with the actor’s permission, we will share application materials with other DC-area theatres who are looking for similar talent. (Rorschach is not hiring AEA actors at this time. If you are AEA and wish to submit your info to our files for future use you may do so below.)

Your Audition
We are accepting submissions on a rolling basis. Please submit by August 3 for consideration in Klecksography and for best consideration ofr our fall show. Auditions submitted after this date will be considered for shows and projects later in the year. We understand that not everyone has access to top-notch recording set-ups. Do your best to ensure that you are well-lit and that we can hear your audio, but don't let the self-tape component stress you out.
Updating a previous open-call audition
If you submitted an audition for a Rorschach open call within the last few years, you can still submit an audition now as an opportunity to update your files. If you only want to update your information and headshot, you can choose to forego recording a video and we will refer to your most recent audition video.
Please Confirm that your video includes the following:
*
Your Name & Name of Piece
60-90 second contemporary monologue
Your brief (about 30 seconds or less) answer to the following question: What past project do you feel helped you grow the most as an artist and in what way did that experience change you?
