Description
Today I welcome Jenny McConnell Frederick, Artistic Director of the Rorschach Theatre to talk about theatre and performance in pandemic times.
Jenny McConnell Frederick is a Washington, DC-based Director, Producer and strong believer in impossible theatre. She's the co-Artistic Director of Rorschach Theatre which she founded in the summer of 1999 with Randy Baker.
She has directed, produced and created theatre experiences for Theater J, University of Maryland, Catholic University and Word Dance Theatre. Currently she is part of an 8-member team building Rorschach's ground-breaking Distance Frequencies, a project for which she created the concept. The immersive experience sends participants to seven locations around Washington, DC to explore chapters in an unfolding story about DC history--real and imagined. The project culminates in a live show in July 2021.
