About the Show
Dina Katzman is struggling. As a novelist, as a mother, as a wife, and as a person. But when she begins talking to an AI Chatbot named Bobby, she discovers an unlikely confidant who always listens, never judges, and somehow seems to understand her better than most people. And heβs Jewish too! What could go wrong?
A site-specific production performed in two secret locations in Los Angeles - one Westside and one Eastside - to be disclosed upon ticket purchase. Produced in association with InHouse Theatre, the Los Angeles company that has spent twelve years making intimate, site-specific work in real spaces rather than in any fixed theater.
Bobby Robotowitz is part of a National New Play Network (NNPN) Rolling World Premiere with partner theaters Woolly Mammoth (DC), City Theatre (PA), Luna Stage (NJ), and PlayLab (FL), as well as a finalist in the 2026 Terrence McNally Award from the Terrence McNally Foundation.
Westside Cast (Oct 15 - Nov 2): Amy Rosoff* as Dina & James Luster* as Bobby
Eastside Cast (Nov 5 - Nov 23): Christine Woods* as Dina & Drew Rausch^ as Bobby

ABOUT THE NATIONAL NEW PLAY NETWORK
The National New Play Network is an alliance of professional theaters that collaborate in innovative ways to develop, produce, and extend the life of new plays. Founded in 1998, NNPN continues to revolutionize the new play landscape through the strength of its member theaters, collaborative efforts, and its nationally recognized programs and services for artists and organizations. A Rolling World Premiere gives a new play multiple productions at multiple theaters, so the writer can keep developing the work with real audiences instead of a single opening night.
