‘Angel Number Nine’July 7 – July 30Rorschach Theatre1020 Connecticut Ave., N.W.$30-$45Rorschachtheatre.org D.C.’s pioneering Rorschach Theatre doesn’t shy away from seemingly impossible projects.
In fact, that’s what the nearly 25-year-old company finds most appealing. Continuing in that tradition, Rorschach’s latest offering, “Angel Number Nine,” is poised to make its world premiere on July 7 in the former home of Rochester Big & Tall, a sprawling two-level downtown retail space close to Farragut North.
Adapted from the same-named novel by James L. Rogers III, “Angel Number Nine” follows the boozy, late-night journey of Angel, a young bisexual singer as she tours with her fledgling rock group through the clubs of the ’90s East Coast music scene.
Along the way, Angel meets Cupid (literally), prompting her to unpack a lot of emotional, un-dealt with stuff. Angel’s processing and pursuing of relationships is a through line.
