Birthday Club
by Hill Country Community Theatre (HCCT)
Feb. 15 - Feb. 16 (2022)
BIRTHDAY CLUB, a comedy by friend of HCCT, Phil Olson. Five women get together for their birthdays, each with their own story, to drink, celebrate, commiserate, and support each other as they negotiate through marriage, work, divorce, birth, kids, and solve the problems of the world.
Cheryl, Kathy, Emily and Abbie started Birthday Club five years ago when their friend, Jennifer, was diagnosed with cancer, as a support group to help her get through it. When Jennifer passes away, they had an opening for a new member. However, it’s not easy to join Birthday Club. Birthday Club is very exclusive, and there’s a three year waiting list. They bring in Sarah as a potential member, but first Sarah must make it through the “interview” and agree to abide by the eight rules of Birthday Club, to be considered an official member.
One by one we learn of their personal, work and family issues, and when it’s revealed that one of them 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?
Tuesday and Wednesday, February 15 and 16 at 7:00PM at Hill Country Community Theatre
