Birthday Club by Phil Olson, directed by Charlie Nunez

14/12/23

Five women, each with her own story, get together for their birthdays:  to drink, celebrate, commiserate and support each other as they negotiate their lives through marriage, work, divorce, birth and kids - while simultaneously solving the problems of the world.

 

Birthday Club started five years ago as a support group for Jennifer, diagnosed with cancer.  When she passed away, they had an opening for a new member.  However, it’s a very exclusive Club – there’s a three-year waiting list, an “interview” and eight rules to abide by.  When one of them admits she went out with another’s husband, the vodka hits the fan!

 

The question is: will Birthday Club survive, or will Rule 5 end it forever?!

 

Here's more information about the individual women in the cast:

Cheryl (50s):  married, successful business owner, anal-retentive, control issues.  Marriage is strained. Stay-at-home husband.

Emily (40s):  high schol teacher.  Divorced twice, prolific Tinder dater.  Has had a lot of "work done".

Abbie (30s):  married stay-at-home wife.  Easy life, nice big house, pool, boat ...

Kathy (40s):  works in law enforcement.  Married, 4 kids.  Very tough.

Sarah (20s): works for Cheryl, member of the very strict "Heemish" religion; betrothed.  Wholesome, innocent, naive of all worldly things.
