Theatre for a New Audience presents the world premiere of a new musical, We Are Your Robots, by Obie-winning playwright Ethan Lipton (No Place to Go, Tumacho) and directed by two-time Tony nominee Leigh Silverman. Co-produced with Rattlestick Theater, We Are Your Robots features text and songs by Lipton and music by his bandmates of 20 years: Eben Levy on guitar, Vito Dieterle on saxophone and Ian Riggs on bass. The quartet play robots who’ve come to the theatre to answer the question, “What do humans want from their machines?” With witty songs that are “twisted, dark and sophisticated both lyrically and musically, yet schleppy, sweet and sad all at once” (NPR), We Are Your Robots looks at brain mapping, consciousness, violence, surveillance and the problem better known as being human.
