AGE IS A FEELING

Postponed

Update: Age is a Feeling is Postponed

We have been looking forward to bringing audiences the US premiere of Haley McGee’s beautiful and inspiring solo show, Age is a Feeling, this fall. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, we need to postpone the production from the originally scheduled dates of September 11 – October 13. 

A few days before we were to start rehearsals, Haley learned of a health issue that would make doing the show this fall a risk to her physical well-being. She is doing well and has a lot of support during this time. Together we made the difficult yet necessary decision to postpone the run, and we are sending Haley tons of love and good wishes. 

Haley McGee shares: 

 
“Age is a Feeling is a show about how our relationship with our mortality shapes the way we live. It seems I have been thrust into a relationship with life’s fragile nature in real time. To quote from the show, “Leaving the doctor’s office, you’ll truly understand that your health IS everything.” I’m gutted not to be coming to New York and bringing this show to audiences there this autumn, and so sorry to disappoint anyone who planned to see it. I am grateful for the amazing team at The Vineyard and we look forward to sharing plans for a future run with you.”
 

All patrons who have purchased tickets have been contacted by the box office. Please check your email spam folders if you haven’t received any correspondence. We deeply appreciate the support of our audiences and look forward to bringing you this very special show at the earliest possible opportunity.

 
 

SYNOPSIS:

Inspired by hospices, mystics and trips to the cemetery, Age is a Feeling wrestles with our endless chances to change course while we’re alive. A covert rallying cry against cynicism and regret. A call to seize our time. Written and performed by Olivier-nominated playwright and performer Haley McGee (The Ex-Boyfriend Yard Sale), this never-the-same-twice show is a gripping story about how our relationship with mortality shapes the way we live. Charting the seminal moments, rites of passage and turning points in adult life from the day of turning 25 through death, Age is a Feeling celebrates the glorious and melancholy unknowability of human life.

Directed by Mitchell Cushman (Lessons in Temperament) with original direction and dramaturgy by the late Adam Brace (Just for Us), Age is a Feeling premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe 2022, where it won the Fringe First Award, before transferring to the Soho Theatre in London for two sold-out runs.
