Vivian Beaumont Theater
150 West 65th Street, New York City, NY 10023

Award-winning comedian and storyteller Mike Birbiglia returns to Broadway with a tale of life, death and a highly chlorinated YMCA pool. The master storyteller (The New One, Sleepwalk with Me) shares his coming-of-middle-age story that asks the big questions: Why are we here? What's next? What happens when the items at the doctor's office that you thought were decorative become functional? After acclaimed runs in Berkeley, Chicago and Los Angeles, The Old Man and the Pool is a hilarious reminder for all of us recovering from failing bodies and a flailing world.
