Birthday Candles by Noah Haidle
(dramedy)
Directed by Brad Cain, adjunct professor of theatre

In a kitchen in Grand Rapids, Michigan, we meet Ernestine on her 17th birthday agonizing over her insignificance in the universe. Soon, it’s her 18th birthday. Even sooner, her 41st. Her 70th. Her 101st. Five generations, an infinity of dreams, dozens of goldfish, and one cake baked over a century. Witness the highlights, heartbreaks, and extraordinary moments that make up one woman’s ordinary life.

Birthday Candles by Noah Haidle is presented through a special arrangement with Concord Theatricals.

The Gezon Auditorium is located in the Spoelhof University Center.
