InHouse Theatre is proud to partner with LA theatre pioneers IAMA Theatre to bring Matt Schatz’s profound and hilarious new play Bobby Robotowitz to life this fall.

Bobby Robotowitz, sponsored in part by the National New Play Network, will receive its first staging in Los Angeles from InHouse and IAMA before heading East to companion productions at the City Theater in Pittsburgh, PA, Woolly Mammoth Theatre in Washington, DC, and Luna Stage in Orange, NJ.

Renowned LA-based director Casey Stangl helms the production.

When Dina, a struggling novelist, starts a creative partnership with her AI chatbot Bobby, her identity as a writer and the meaning of her own work begin to change. Is Dina’s chatbot helping shape her creativity, or is he expressing his own? Is Bobby serving the work, or is he merely giving Dina the encouragement for which she feels starved? Bobby Robotowitz is a razor-sharp satire of our disoriented AI age, exploring identity, agency, consciousness, the compromises AI demands of us, and the compromises we’re too willing to make ourselves.

Bobby Robotowitz will run October 15 through November 23 at two separate, secret, site-specific locations across the city. Tickets available now!
