Birthday Candles
Unwrap this “true gift” of a play (Variety), and journey through 80+ years of Ernestine Ashworth’s life: from her 17th to her 101st birthdays, marked by her mother’s golden butter cake and a kaleidoscope of experiences. With each passing year, Ernestine grapples with the insignificance of her existence while cherishing the ordinary and extraordinary moments that shape her. This poignant and humorous exploration of life’s highlights and heartbreaks offers a moving tribute to the resilience and complexity of the human spirit.
A limited amount of Pay-What-You-Can tickets are available for select performances as part of Philly Theatre Week! Those tickets are available here beginning March 7th: https://theatre-philadelphia.ticketleap.com/birthday-candles/
