Dig Deep Theatre to Hold One-Night-Only Reading of &quot;You Got Older&quot; Sept. 5 Following Loss of The MAIN and staged production in Old Town Newhall Fire **Pay-what-you-can event set for Saturday, September 5, 8pm&nbsp;at&nbsp;CalArts&#39; A404 Black &amp; White Studio** **SANTA CLARITA, CA** &mdash; Dig Deep Theatre will present a special one-night-only benefit reading of Clare Barron&#39;s Obie-winning play &quot;You Got Older&quot; on **Saturday, September 5, at 8 p.m.**,&nbsp;at&nbsp;CalArts&#39; A404 Black &amp; White Studio&nbsp;inside the CalArts Main Building at 24700 McBean Pkwy. Valencia, CA 91355. The event is pay-what-you-can, with proceeds going toward replacing the costumes, props and equipment destroyed in the fire that consumed The MAIN in Old Town Newhall on August 24. Content Warning: This production contains mature content, including: discussion of sexual activity (intercourse/masturbation/kink themes), jokes/dialogue flippantly referencing sexual assault, strong/explicit language, themes of illness, grief, and family conflict Viewer discretion is advised Age recommendation: audiences of 18+, not for children Dig Deep&#39;s staged production of &quot;You Got Older&quot; &mdash; the first performances of this acclaimed play in Santa Clarita &mdash; opened at The MAIN the weekend before the fire, on August 21. With five more shows scheduled, the fire broke out and destroyed the theater along with everything the cast and crew had stored inside. For more than 30 years, The MAIN &mdash; formerly the Repertory East Playhouse &mdash; was one of the few affordable, accessible venues in Santa Clarita built specifically to support local theater artists. It was not only home to Dig Deep Theatre&#39;s productions, but to countless other arts organizations, performers and artists across the Santa Clarita Valley. Its loss is being felt throughout the region&#39;s creative community. The September 5 reading will feature the members of the original cast, which includes Shawnee Badger, Bill A. Jones, Kyle Sparks, Ryan Shrewsbury, Lauren Miscioscia, Dakota Klein and Sam Jones, under the direction of Renato Biribin. &quot;You Got Older&quot; follows 32-year-old Mae, who moves home to care for her father as he battles cancer. As her childhood house becomes both a refuge and a trap, Mae is forced to confront her own body, her relationships, and her place in the limbo between the life she has and the one she thought she&#39;d have. The play enjoyed a staged reading in 2025 at Huron Station Playhouse in Cypress Park and recently completed a Drama Desk&ndash;nominated revival at the Cherry Lane Theatre in New York City.
