Open Studio: Richard Maxwell and New York City Players at The Vault, Bernstein Hall – Hamilton, NY
Don’t miss this upcoming event in Hamilton, NY. Happening on Thursday, October 9, 2025 at The Vault, Bernstein Hall. Doors open at 5:00 PM.
Join us for a first look of a new work in progress by Richard Maxwell and NYC Players as they investigate how might a robot endure the artistic rigor of developing a new play alongside live actors?
This studio performance will investigate the idea of robots as characters on stage as a means to explore empathy and how it is generated for characters in the mind of the audience.
Over the last 25 years Richard Maxwell’s work has disrupted, innovated, confounded, and been celebrated by many. It has been described as a confluence of influence leaping out of epic theater, post-dramatic theater, and performance art while operating and vibrating within hyper-realist theater concerns. At its heart, the work is always a rupture.
This residency is co-sponsored by the Christian A. Johnson Fund and Department of Theater, Computer Science, Film and Media Studies, Art, Colgate Arts Council, and the Office of Entrepreneurship and Innovation.
