Cheryl, Karen, Monica and Abbie stated Birthday Club five years ago when their friends Jennifer was diagnosed with cancer, as a support group to help her get through it. When Jennifer recently passed away, they had an opening for a new member. However, it's not that easy to join Birthday Club. Birthday Club is a 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, they reveal their personal, work and family issues, and 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?
REVIEWS:
"It's good to know that laughter is still alive and well on the stage."
Navarro County Gazette
"Phil Olson's Birthday Club is a five-woman show focused around a group of friends that meet on each other's birthdays to share what's going on with their lives... though Birthday Club is a primarily comedy-driven piece, the script allowed time for all the actresses to have an emotional beat... [With] oddball situations and fast one-liners from the cast... it's good to know that laughter is still alive and well on the stage."
