AUDITIONS:
BIRTHDAY CLUB
By Phil Olson
Directed by Perry Shields
Five women create the Birthday Club, to celebrate, commiserate, and support each other as they navigate through all of life’s challenges. It’s not easy to join Birthday Club; a potential member must make it through the “interview” and agree to abide by the eight sacred rules. When it’s revealed that one of the members 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?
