Clare Barron's 2015 Obie award winning play, You Got Older, is an honest offbeat comedy and delicate drama about family, illness, fantasy, and returning home. This performance at Gettysburg College is the first production since its premiere in New York City. "Clare Barron's extraordinary You Got Older moved me as few new plays have. As a critic, I can usually shake things off fast...but for some time after the play's wrenching finale, I found myself literally shaking. You Got Older captures elusive things like avoidance: It's about the denial of death, but also the denial of living" -- Time Out New York 

"This terrific new play offers a hilarious and painfully affecting blend of oddball dialogue, beautifully observed family dynamics and a preoccupation with the weird ways of the body." The New Yorker.
