Birthday Candles

Written by Noah Haidle

Directed by Alex Levy

December 4-21, 2025

Ernestine Ashworth spends her 17th birthday agonizing over her insignificance in the universe. Soon enough, it’s her 18th birthday. Even sooner, her 41st. Her 70th. Her 101st. This poignant and funny play takes its audience through the highlights, heartbreaks and extraordinary moments that make up one woman’s ordinary life. “For my money, Birthday Candles is precisely why people go to the theater.” – Chicago Tribune

Thursdays/Fridays/Saturdays at 7:30pm, Saturdays/Sundays at 2:00pm
