BIRTHDAY CANDLES

Madison High School

Madison, NJ


Written By Noah Haidle

Directed by Blake Spence & Jacquie Radcliff

Performed on November 2nd-4th, 2023


The audience is taken through Ernestine Ashworth's birthdays of over 90 years. Life and death and family are the focus of this woman's long life as she discovers her "place in the cosmos". 


Notes:

-The color of the cyc starts as a light blue. Then cycles through pale green, bright orange, and soft pink with each time lapse until it ends on a dark blue. This sunset of color represents Ernestine's life as it comes to a close at the end of the play. 

-Whenever a character death occurred the actor stepped off the main set. White light engulfs the character and the LED tape would turn white.
