"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. Grote's play is both mind-blowing and a bit mind-numbing, but as modeling clay for a troupe that likes to get its mitts on provocative, idea-crammed and still-evolving theater, it's primo material."

A young man stumbles into a dusty old recording studio run by an enigmatic old woman and her beautiful assistant. Here he is drawn into an ancient and powerful world of Jewish mysticism and Kabbalistic ritual and discovers that he may be something more than he had ever imagined. This production introduces Washington to Jason Grote, an exciting young voice in American Theatre, exploding in regional theatres across the country.
