BIRTHDAY CANDLES Will Play North Coast Repertory Theatre

Playgoers are in for a treat as North Coast Repertory Theatre presents Noah Haidle's Birthday Candles, a touching tribute to one woman's life. Filled with laughter, tears and moments of reflection, the play explores the passing of time, the evolution of relationships, and the profound changes that occur in a person's life from one year to the next.

Through its characters and storytelling, Birthday Candles offers a unique perspective of life's milestones. It honors five generations, an infinity of dreams, and one century-old cake. This is one party you won't want to miss, so RSVP at the box office early to reserve yourself a place at the table.
