Mike Birbiglia, a renowned director, actor, and master storyteller, plays the lead role in the enthralling production of The Old Man & The Pool.
One-man performances by Birbiglia include Sleepwalk with Me, My Girlfriend's Boyfriend, Thank God For Jokes, and The New One, all of which have received critical praise. He won the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Solo Show for his performance in My Girlfriend's Boyfriend, and the Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for his work in The New One. Notably, Birbiglia also demonstrated his ability as a filmmaker by turning his play Sleepwalk with Me into a movie in which he also acted.
Storyline
As he tells his coming-of-age story, Mike poses all the important questions, such as: why are we here? What is next? What happens when the items in the doctor's office that you initially thought were only decorative begin to actually have a purpose? When a doctor informs Birbiglia that he inherited the cardiac problems in his family, they advise Birbiglia to lead a healthy lifestyle. He fiercely declines, though, particularly when it comes to swimming, owing to childhood memories of an unbearably foul Massachusetts YMCA pool. Get your hands on some The Old Man & The Pool tickets today.
