Description

A young man with a secret. An older woman who will listen. A predatory flock of birds. An upcoming audition for The Wizard of Oz.

You Will Get Sick is a wildly imaginative new play that traces the hilarious and deeply moving saga of one man’s illness and his unlikely caretaker’s pursuit of her dreams.

Admired as “lively, surreal and surprising” by the New York Times, Noah Diaz’s play is equal parts buddy-comedy, form-bending experiment and sober meditation on mortality.

After premiering off Broadway at the Roundabout Theatre in 2022, where it was a New York Times Critic's Pick, it has had numerous productions across America, including a run at Steppenwolf Theatre in Chicago in summer 2025.

A finalist for both the Henry Award for Outstanding New Play and The John Gassner Award for New American Play at the Outer Critics Circle Awards, this is a dark comedy in second person about learning how to live within your body as you find your way home.
