Episode Details

Maxwell Beer and Mitch Marois stop by The Roundtable with Robert Bannon to celebrate the launch of MATCHBOOK FEST 2026, an exciting new five-week festival transforming New York City's historic Greenwich House Theater into a home for bold new ideas, developing works, and unforgettable live events. Produced by Mix & Match Productions, the festival brings together established artists and rising voices for readings, concerts, conversations, workshops, and one-of-a-kind theatrical experiences—all designed to give audiences a front-row seat to the creative process.

Robert sits down with Maxwell and Mitch to discuss why they created MATCHBOOK FEST, the importance of giving artists a place to experiment, and how they're building a community where creativity, collaboration, and discovery come first. They also share what audiences can expect throughout the festival, the challenges of launching a brand-new arts event, and why supporting new work has never been more important.

It's an inspiring conversation about taking chances, creating opportunities for artists, and lighting the spark for the next generation of theatre.
