MAGIC IN ROUGH SPACES is Rorschach Theatre’s new play development program. Our annual New Play Lab (in which we present readings of three new plays) takes place in the spring and submissions are accepted in the fall. Playwrights can also visit here for our general year-round play submission policy.

We have produced countless regional and world premieres including the world premieres of Anna Ziegler’s The Minotaur, Julia Izumi’s Sometimes the Rain, Sometimes the Sea, Jason Grote’s This Storm is What We Call Progress, Steve Yockey’s Reykjavik, Jennifer Maisel’s birds, Randy Baker’s Forgotten Kingdoms, Fengar Gael’s The Gallerist,  Reina Hardy’s Glassheart and Annie Jump and the Library of Heaven, Iris Dauterman’s Sing to me Now, Erin Bregman’s A Bid to Save the World, and the team written Truth and Beauty Bombs.

Rorschach Theatre is an associate member of the National New Play Network (NNPN).
