After losing both her job and her boyfriend, an unmoored and unsettled Mae returns to her small Washington hometown to take care of her ailing father. When she meets a mysterious stranger, she has the startling realization that maybe the intimacy she’s been craving is easier with the unknown, rather than with her own family. Blending reality and fantasy, You Got Older reunites Obie Award winner and Pulitzer Prize finalist Clare Barron with Obie Award winner and Tony Award nominee Anne Kauffman for this tender and darkly comic play about family, illness, and cowboys — and how to remain standing when everything you know comes crashing down around you.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR You Got Older
'You Got Older' Off-Broadway review — a moving portrait of adulthood and caregiving
9 / 10
By the end of the play, this critic could’ve used a baseball cap. You Got Older remains a timeless meditation on adulthood in all its messiness, pain, and sometimes humor — and it is well worth seeing.
You Got Older: Quirkiness Masquerading as Cleverness
3 / 10
It’s a shame, because Kauffman has provided a first-rate staging that easily handles the play’s stylistic diversions, and Shawkat, so amusing in such sitcoms as Arrested Development and Search Party, makes us acutely aware of her character’s emotional pain while mining laughs in the process. It’s not enough to prevent the evening from succumbing to its ambitions. By the time You Get Older ends, you’ll feel older.
