“Rorschach Theatre lost its space, but not its mojo. The little, forward-thinking company had to leave its longtime home in a Methodist church in Columbia Heights… If its first production in exile, a world premiere of Jason Grote’s “This Storm Is What We Call Progress,” is any indication, then homelessness may not be such a trying condition.

“…they’ve found a way to peel up the rug and give us a peek, however brief, at the invisible universe beneath it. This Storm Is What We Call Progress is right in Rorschach’s wheelhouse: a marriage of magic and the mundane, where wine and sacred blood soak a Metro card (which will be used to cure a hip ailment) and where a nameless woman with silver skin (Rena Cherry Brown) seeks out a young man, either to father the Messiah or in order to eat him. It is a beautifully written, flawlessly executed piece of work.”

If its first offering, a sexy and meditative staging of the world premiere This Storm Is What We Call Progress is an indication of things to come, we’re in for an exciting summer.
