[Image description: Text per below. On a blue textured background, a photo, attached by vintage photo corners, shows a young woman in a light blue shirt, turning away from the camera. Her dark curly hair hides her face. In front of her, across the bottom of the photo, a line of flowers ranging from bright and fresh on the left to faded and brown on the right.]

How many chances do you get to change the course of your life?

What will you leave unsaid when you go?

Beginning on the day you turn 25 and continuing through to your death, Age is a Feeling charts the seminal moments, rites of passage and turning points that make up an adult life.

Haley McGee’s internationally lauded solo show is a gripping story about how our connection with mortality shapes the way we live. Exploring the relationships that define us and what we choose to share, Age is a Feeling celebrates the glorious and melancholy unknowability of human life.

For the first time in Canada a new actor will step into the role originated by the playwright. This achingly beautiful and wry show subtly responds to the audience, making each performance a unique event.
