Vineyard Theatre Adds Plays by Haley McGee and Sarah Gancher to Season Lineup

Vineyard Theatre has announced two additional productions for its 2024-25 season: Haley McGee’s Age is a Feeling, and Sarah Gancher’s The Wind and The Rain: A Story about Sunny’s Bar.

Inspired by hospices, mystics, and trips to the cemetery, Age is a Feeling explores mortality and the melancholy unknowability of human life through a never-the-same-twice one-woman show, written and performed by McGee. The work initially premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2022 before transferring to London’s SoHo Theatre for two sold-out runs. Mitchell Cushman directs, with original direction and dramaturgy from the late Adam Brace. Age is a Feeling runs September 11-October 13.

Presented at Brooklyn’s Waterfront Barge Museum, The Wind and The Rain: A Story about Sunny’s Bar spotlights one Red Hook waterfront bar, which has been owned by the same family for over one hundred years. When Hurricane Sandy hits, Tone Johansen must fight to save it against incredible odds. Jared Mezzocchi will direct the work, which uses immersive design technology to bridge the past and present of Red Hook in a site-specific theatrical experience. It is a coproduction of the Vineyard and En Garde Arts. Dates will be announced shortly.

The two plays join a lineup of the previously announced productions of Jordan Harrison’s The Antiquities and Nazareth Hassan’s Bowl EP.
