At LaMama, 'Above Ground' brings aging, improv and the art of being seen to the stage

"Above Ground — Not Exactly a Comedy" starts a two-week run at LaMama Experimental Theatre Club on Thursday. 

"This theater project has been a labor of love, and we can't wait to share it with you," said one of the cast members, longtime East Village resident Christine Koenig (pictured). "Performers tell stories about the experience of getting older, remembering how it was to be young. Music, movement and improvisation are woven into the piece." 

The play is part of the You're Never Too Old To Play group at Westbeth, with actors ranging from 74 to 98 in age.

Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays, and a 3 p.m. matinee on Sundays from March 13-23 at La Mama's The Club, 74 E. Fourth St. between Second Avenue and the Bowery. 

The first 10 tickets sold for each performance are $10. You can get tickets here.
