BIRTHDAY CANDLES

by Noah Haidle
Directed by Marc Masterson
March 8 – 30, 2025
Another year. Another cake. Another goldfish. An inquisitive, hilarious and heartwarming play (and Broadway hit), Birthday Candles examines one woman’s life – one birthday at a time – and asks where our place in the universe is and what would you risk for the perfect gift? Join Ernestine as she takes us through a century of ordinarily extraordinary moments and dreams in this work hailed as“epic and beautifully written” (NY Daily News).
