Off-Broadway's Vineyard Theatre has been forced to postpone its planned U.S. premiere of Haley McGee's Age is a Feeling, originally scheduled to play September 11-October 13.

In a statement posted to Vineyard's website, the company shares that McGee learned of "a health issue that would make doing the show this fall a risk to her physical well-being" just days before rehearsals were slated to begin for the Off-Broadway run.

"Age is a Feeling is a show about how our relationship with our mortality shapes the way we live. It seems I have been thrust into a relationship with life’s fragile nature in real time," says McGee in her own accompanying statement. "To quote from the show, 'Leaving the doctor’s office, you’ll truly understand that your health IS everything.' I’m gutted not to be coming to New York and bringing this show to audiences there this autumn, and so sorry to disappoint anyone who planned to see it. I am grateful for the amazing team at The Vineyard, and we look forward to sharing plans for a future run with you."

Ticket holders will be contacted by Vineyard's box office. No replacement production has yet been revealed.

The solo show, written and performed by McGee, is described in press notes as a celebration of "the glorious and melancholy unknowability of human life." The work was a Fringe First Award winner at the 2022 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where it premiered before playing two sold-out runs at London's SoHo Theatre. Mitchell Cushman was to direct the U.S. premiere. The late Adam Brace (Alex Edelman's Just For Us) was the piece's original director and dramaturg.
