""Into why don't we do something cooler than just [stage] the show, why don't we build a theater that will not necessarily be a temple to 'American Psycho' but will be vaguely inspired by 'American Psycho,' and then outlast it and have a life of its own.""
""How do we really preserve this art form that is so important to all of us in a marketplace that is increasingly challenged with competition both live and also on your phones?""
The Empyrean Club, a new theater, restaurant, bar, and lounge, will open in Bushwick in 2027. The venue originated from a desire to stage 'American Psycho,' leading to a vision for a more intimate theater experience. Playwright Max Hunter and producer Lucas Katler aimed to create a space that would inspire and engage tech-savvy audiences. They recognized the need for change in the theater industry to remain relevant amidst competition from digital entertainment.
