Welcome to a hot unsettling evening at Rorschach where beyond being a fly on the wall, you’ve actually burrowed deep into people’s brains to hear their thoughts and experiences, past, present and future-unnerving.

That’s about all the time one can remain transfixed in this alternate reality where time, material substance, and heated emotions are all mixed up and bubbling in a simmering cauldron, ready to boil over. Rorschach is notorious for its blazingly innovative style and in your face, cutting edge approach to theater.
