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
