Review: BIRTHDAY CANDLES at North Coast Repertory Theatre
by ErinMarie Reiter - Jun 10, 2025

“Birthday Candles”, now playing at North Coast Repertory Theatre, is a curious mix because existentialism and birthday cake are not a combo I usually crave. Yet thanks to a charming cast and a moving central performance by Margot White, this blend of humor, heartache, and hope is something richer than expected.

Review: BIRTHDAY CANDLES Crystallizes Moments at City Theatre
by Greg Kerestan - Mar 20, 2025
