In a kitchen in Grand Rapids, Michigan, we meet Ernestine on her 17th birthday, agonizing over her insignificance in the universe. Soon, it’s her 18th birthday. Even sooner, her 41st. Her 70th. Her 101st. Five generations, an infinity of dreams, dozens of goldfish, and one cake baked over a century. Witness the highlights, heartbreaks, and extraordinary moments that make up one woman’s ordinary life.
Birthday Candles by Noah Haidle is presented through a special arrangement with Concord Theatricals.
Calvin Theatre Company at Calvin University is at 3201 Burton Street SE, Grand Rapids, MI.
