We Are Your Robots is a wry new musical about what happens when a band of robots asks the audience what it really wants from its machines. Obie-winning playwright Ethan Lipton (No Place to Go, Tumacho) has been described as “splitting the difference between Whitmanesque and the dryly zany comedy of James Thurber.” The tunes from an American vernacular of folk, rock and roll, jazz, and country are beguiling, playful and heartfelt and explore the challenges of being human. Directed by two-time Tony nominee Leigh Silverman (Suffs, Yellow Face) and 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.
