Come Sail Away

I would like to take this opportunity to encourage you all to subscribe to an entire season of Rorschach. Season 8 kicks off with Kit Marlowe but it just keeps rolling. Many of you have received an email from Rorschach that outlines exactly what you get when you subscribe to an entire season. I just want to drive the point home a little harder.

What does just $75 get you? At most theater's in town it should just about cover the cost of one ticket and your parking. But at Rorschach how about not 4 tickets but 7.

In addition to our normal productions this season we introduce you to the idea of episodic theater. Randy Baker is working hard on 4 shows that will twist and turn all the while moving the story of four friends who lucid dream together and make a horrible discovery in their basement upon waking up. Dream Sailors, is a new kind of theater which hopes to engage its audiences with cliff hangers, character arcs and mystery, with a new show premiering every three weeks this spring. Who is the Green Eyed Man who haunts their dreams? Only one way to find out.

A season subscription means not only do you get to see three traditional Rorschach shows but you are guranteed seats for every episode of Dream Sailors.

More about the rest of the season soon, but click here if I have tempted you. Because I love to tempt you. And for students and seniors knock off $20 and pay just $55 for a whole season, including all four episodes of Dream Sailors.

Tomorrow more, Get to Know from the Kit Marlowe crew.

Get Ready!

I hope the picture to your left doesn't bring up any bad memories for our readers.

First off I want to direct everyone to the DCeiver for one of my favorite songs of all time and in particular my favorite Christmas Song of all time, Fairytale of New York.

Remember first read for Rough Magic this Sunday. I will try and get us some pics.

Please as the year draws to a close and you are looking for a quick bit of charity work to do, consider a gift to Rorschach Theatre. Make your way to our Support Page and make a gift in any amount and we will love you for a long time into 2007.

And if you want to give the gift of theater remember that three show subscriptions are still available. $44 for a regular subscription and $32 for Students and Seniors, visit our Subcription Page for more details.

Have a safe and happy weekend and I will see you all on Monday!

Cast Picture

Have you ever seen a happier group of actors, designers and crew in your life? Well maybe once or twice in my life but I have lived a life full of happy casts. These are the folks who are going to be finishing their run of MONSTER this weekend.

You know what would make them even happier? A couple of sold out shows this weekend. Have you seen MONSTER? Have you seen it twice? If you answered no to either one of these questions, I don't even know you any more. Who are you and what are doing reading this blog? Fine person you are reading a blog and not seeing the shows that it documents in gorey detail.

I can only tell you what I know, and that is that there were three adaptations of Frankenstein on stage this season and only one of them did I bother to go see. And that one is closing on Sunday. Get yourself over to Casa and see this show before it is over or I swear by all that is good in this world you will regret not seeing some of the best performances on stage in DC and what I consider to be the finest bit of directing that Randy Baker has done so far.

Shows tonight at 8pm, Saturday at 4 and 8pm and Sunday at 7pm.

And while you are shopping today might I recommend a Season Subscription to the rest of Rorschach's Season 7. We still have Rough Magic, References to Salvador Dali Make Me Hot and birds. this season and you can see all three for just $44.00 or less than half what it would cost you to get good seats at the Shakespeare theater. Remember at Rorschach you are never more than 15 feet away from the action on stage (not an actual measurement but a number I pulled out of a hat). Give the gift of theater this Holiday Season and you will be surprised by how appreciative people can be.

You may now return to your left overs and shopping! Monday I will have the final installment of Ask the Cast and pics from the cast party. See you at the theatre!
