You Got Older, by Clare Barron, directed by Anne Kauffman, has been extended through Apr. 26 at Off Broadway’s Cherry Lane Theatre.
Alia Shawkat (Mae), (Peter Friedman (Dad), Misha Brooks, (Matthew), Caleb Eberhardt (Mac), and Spenser Granese (Cowboy).
After losing both her job and her boyfriend (comes with the territory when you’re dating your boss), an unmoored and unsettled Mae returns to her small Washington hometown to take care of her ailing father. When she unexpectedly 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. A tender and darkly comic play about family, illness, and cowboys — and how to remain standing when everything you know comes crashing down around you.
