RORSCHACH
World Premiere at the Skylight Theatre
October 15 - November 22, 2026
A New Play by Kelly Younger
directed by Cameron Watson
A funny, inventive, and surprisingly tender new play about the art and science of perception, the courage to be seen for who we truly are, and the mysterious, blotted shape of love itself. RORSCHACH invites audiences to laugh, fall in love, and ask themselves the question that changes everything: What do you see?
“CHARMING, FUNNY AND TOUCHING! Director Cameron Watson, the ensemble, and the tech designers deliver an enticing production that mines Younger’s humor and pathos with equal assurance. Younger’s wit is on hilarious display. Tell me what might this be but a commitment to friendship, art, science, and humanity.”
- Martin Hernandez, STAGE RAW
“AWE-INSPIRING! AMAZING! MAGIC! TERRIFIC CAST! SUPERB! The laughs are out loud! Tech transports us in wonderful ways! It is so much fun to be on board for this World Premiere… A revolutionary ride for the Small Stage in Los Angeles. Bravo!”
- Michael Sheehan, ON STAGE LOS ANGELES
“It yields a delightfully rewarding evening of innovative and satisfying artistry. An intellectually nimble, structurally entertaining puzzle that with considerable charm and wit, Younger constructs characters who feel genuinely alive, ensuring that you find yourself truly caring about every individual on stage by the final act. The play’s central triumph is how seamlessly these fictional and nonfictional pieces interlock. Younger keeps the dialogue remarkably fresh and rhythmic. Under Watson’s signature darkly lit and dreamlike directorial vision, the physical and auditory world of Rorschach comes vibrantly to life. The technical craft on display at the Skylight is TOP-TIER. As an engaging, inventive, emotionally resonant piece of theatre, IT SUCCEEDS BRILLIANTLY. It’s a smart, light-on-its-feet puzzle box carried by STANDOUT PERFORMANCES AND FLAWLESS TECHNICAL EXECUTION!”

“MESMERIZING! TRANSPORTIVE! TALENTED ENSEMBLE! SHINES A LIGHT! Its six-member cast fluidly choreographed by Watson. Mesmerizing, swirling inkblot projections by Nicholas Santiago... adds an immersive dimension that elevates the experience. Friends, lovers, roommates, siblings - unfolding back and forth across time and space.”
- Anita W. Harris, LATHEATRIX.COM
“PITCH-PERFECT CASTING AND ACTING! AUTHENTIC AND DYNAMIC! The production launches an exciting new season at Skylight Theatre under the auspices of artistic director Cameron Watson, who directs with grace and wit. A generous script that gives them all nuance and clarity."
- Laura Fori Cohen, LARCHMONT BUZZ
“A SPECTACULAR WORLD PREMIERE SEASON OPENER FOR A SKYLIGHT THEATRE COMPANY REJUVENATED UNDER CAMERON WATSON’S ARTISTIC DIRECTORSHIP! A master director, a stellar cast, and the finest design team in town have joined forces to deliver a production so dazzling in every respect, you could plunk it down on the Pasadena Playhouse or Geffen stage exactly as is. Playwright Younger blends fact, fiction, and speculation in the cleverest of ways. One of the most stunning production designs you’ll see all year on this or any L.A. stage. Los Feliz’s Skylight Theatre has been a shining light among L.A. stages for going on a half-century, and if Rorschach is any indication of what lies ahead, theatergoing Angelinos are in for even more greatness in the months and years ahead!”
