This spring, Tara will be performing in the Regional Premiere of Birthday Candles by Noah Haidle at one of her favorite places to work – Sidekick Theatre in Bloomington, MN.
The ingredients for the cake are simple: eggs, butter, sugar, salt. Look closer, though, and you’ll see the essence of life itself. Every year, Ernestine bakes a cake and celebrates with her family on her birthday — a delicious ritual that unfolds onstage across 90 years of birthdays. We meet Ernestine and the people who sweeten her life every year on this day as she grows from 17 to 107 years old. Through glimpses of Ernestine’s life as the years go by, Birthday Candles tenderly explores motherhood, family, love, loss and finding your place in the universe.
This charming new play, recently on Broadway, will warm the soul.
