Klecksography Directors Open Call 2026
Rorschach will choose six directors to work on Klecksography 2026, the process running from August 22 -30, 2026. Klecksography is a week long project during which we create, stage, and perform six new short plays based on a single piece of visual art. All directors will be compensated with a $100 honorarium. Rorschach will cast the projects and connect directors with their script/playwright. Read more at https://rorschachtheatre.com/klex-open-call-2026/.
