CRITIC’S PICK “Clare Barron’s gorgeous play, about an unmoored young woman returning home to care for her father, finds a new home at Cherry Lane Theater. For over a decade, Barron’s writing has entered into the communal bloodstream; in informal polls conducted among theater students, her pieces come up as touchstones and models — both for her naturalistic dialogue and her confessional, erotic-queasy, millennial point of view.”—Helen Shaw, The New York Times

5 STARS “This revival at A24’s Cherry Lane Theatre—impeccably directed, once again, by Anne Kauffman—is as funny and discomfiting as the original. The play hasn’t aged a day, and the new cast is terrific. Barron presses on tender bruises in ways that often leave you laughing with a strange pleasure of recognition.”—Adam Feldman, Time Out NY

(March 16, 2026 – New York, NY) Due to popular demand, a second two-week extension has been announced for the Off-Broadway return of the Obie Award-winning play You Got Older by Pulitzer Prize finalist Clare Barron and directed by Tony Award nominee and Obie Award winner Anne Kauffman. Previously extended through April 12, performances of You Got Older will now play through Sunday April 26, 2026, at the newly reopened Cherry Lane Theatre (38 Commerce Street, NY).

After losing both her job and her boyfriend (comes with the territory when you're dating your boss), an unmoored and unsettled Mae (Alia Shawkat) 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. 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.

You Got Older features Alia Shawkat (“Search Party,” Blink Twice) as Mae, Tony Award nominee Peter Friedman (Job) as Dad, Misha Brooks (The Best You Can) as Matthew, Paul Cooper (Buried Child) as Cowboy, Caleb Joshua Eberhardt (Eurydice) as Mac, Nadine Malouf (Queens) as Hannah, and Nina White (Kimberly Akimbo) as Jenny.

The understudies for the production are Michael McIntire (Hand to God), Jonah O’Hara-David (UntitledKenUrbanProject), Carl Palmer (Coal Country), and Nicole Rodenburg (Usual Girls).

Written by Obie Award winner and Pulitzer Prize finalist Clare Barron (Dance Nation) and directed by Obie Award winner and Tony Award nominee Anne Kauffman (Mary Jane), You Got Older will feature scenic design by Tony Award nominee Arnulfo Maldonado (Buena Vista Social Club), costume design by Obie Award winner Ásta Bennie Hostetter (John), lighting design by Tony Award nominee Isabella Byrd (Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club), and sound design and composition by Tony Award nominee Daniel Kluger (Oh, Mary!). Aura Michelle (Practice) is the Production Stage Manager and Taylor Williams, CSA is the casting director.

You Got Older is produced by Cherry Lane Theatre and Matt Ross with Crooked Letter, Joe Hetterly, Eric Kuhn & Adam Rodner, Concord Theatricals, Amplify Pictures/Gregory Hosono, Michael Ngo/Salem Productions, and David Thomas Tao/Rosemary & Kenneth Willman.

Previews for You Got Older began Thursday February 12, 2026, with an official opening on Monday February 23. You Got Older received its world premiere in 2014 at HERE Arts Center, presented by Page 73, under the direction of Anne Kauffman.
