Birthday Candles by Noah Haidle

Ernestine spends 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, and one cake baked over a century. This poignant, funny play takes its audience through the highlights, heartbreaks, and extraordinary moments that make up one woman’s ordinary life. (Concord Theatricals)
