Birthday Candles 10/24/26 @ 7:30 PM

by Noah Haidle

Earnestine 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)

Event Policy: To individuals with disabilities, please indicate if you need special services, assistance or appropriate modifications to fully participate in this event by contacting Accessibility Services at [email protected] or 419-372-8495.

Performances will begin promptly at the advertised time. NO REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES. - No Refunds Allowed. Productions in the Eva Marie Saint Theatre have now moved to a NO LATE SEATING POLICY and have implemented a Standby Seating Protocol: In the case that a ticket holder does not arrive by one (1) minute before House closes, they are not guaranteed entry into the performance. Instead, if the performance is sold out, those listed on the Standby Seating sign-up at the Box Office will be offered the seats that have not been filled. Those chosen for seats will be determined by a first-come-first-serve basis (i.e., if there is only one seat available, only the first person listed on the sign-up sheet will be offered the seat). Putting one’s name on the sign-up does not guarantee a potential seat. Standby seating will be determined based on the Box Office Manager and House Manager’s discretion. - This event has a no refund policy.
