Join us for Rorschach’s 25th Anniversary Season with this unforgettable line up:
George A. Romero’s NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD
Oct 27 – Nov 19, 2023
1020 Connecticut Ave NW
A smart, hilarious and scary reimagining of this cult classic!
Six strangers in a lonely farmhouse, surrounded by brain-eating zombies – what could go wrong? This adaptation of George A. Romero’s classic film lovingly examines the movie itself, the period in which it was made, and the film’s influence on the horror genre.
PSYCHOGEOGRAPHIES 23-24: Season 4
November 2023 – July 2024
Washington, DC
Feel the unmistakable lure of the unexplained and the unseen in this season-long exploration of the city.
Psychogeographies projects harnesses the power of both the built and natural world to create a visceral piece of immersive storytelling. Each month participants receive a map and instructions to travel to a new curated location in the DC area. Along with the map, they’ll receive a box of artifacts to engage all five senses while exploring each site with story elements such as letters, music, souvenirs, or photos.
From October through May, each monthly box reveals a new location and a new chapter in the ongoing story. This psychogeographic adventure will be co-written by Steve Yockey (HBO’s The Flight Attendant and this season’s SLEEPING GIANT)
HUMAN MUSEUM by Miyoko Conely
April 12 – May 5, 2024
Source Theatre, 1835 14th St. NW
Set in a future where humans have gone extinct, Human Museum follows a group of robots on Earth that run a museum dedicated to organizing the physical and digital artifacts of human life. On the centenary of human extinction, a sudden radio call upends everything the robots thought they knew about the last days of humanity. Human Museum explores what humans will leave behind when we’re gone, and who will carry on our legacy.
SLEEPING GIANT by Steve Yockey
April 12 – May 5, 2024
Source Theatre, 1835 14th St. NW
LOCATION: TBA
When a firework-filled marriage proposal goes very wrong, the accompanying explosions wake up something very old that’s been sleeping in the nearby lake for thousands of years. What follows are intimate, darkly comic, and sometimes startling vignettes about the lengths people go when they desperately want something to believe in.
Plus Rorschach’s iconic annual artist development projects, KLECKSOGRAPHY and MAGIC IN ROUGH SPACES NEW PLAY LAB.
And of course we’re going to celebrate this quarter century milestone in the spring and you’re invited!

SUBSCRIPTION FAQ:
What are the Psychogeographies Projects?
“Rorschach Theatre has hit the jackpot with this innovative form of art, incorporating literature, music, mystery, romance, and DC’s highlights and history, all steeped in a hope for a better world.” -DC Theatre Arts
Launched in 2020, the Psychogeographies Projects are Rorschach Theatre’s visionary new experience that takes participants to unexpected locations around their city while a season-long fictional narrative plays out over layers of history and magic realism. Subscribers receive a box in the mail monthly that includes a new Chapter in the story, each box containing hand-crafted objects – letters, drawings, souvenirs, photos, or even snacks – and a map to a location in their city. Rorschach’s live in-person summer show culminates the experience.
What is Klecksography?
