Birthday Candles is a charming and heartfelt play that follows Ernestine and her family as they experience the dreams, heartbreaks and extraordinary moments that make up one woman’s “ordinary” life. Each passing birthday reveals how time transforms us, as Ernestine marks a century of living with a single cake. Note: contains adult themes and language

“For my money, Birthday Candles is precisely why people go to the theater.” – Chicago Tribune
