Michigan Premiere of ‘Birthday Club’ at Meadow Brook Theatre

Comedy runs January 11 through February 5, 2023, on the campus of Oakland University

Throughout the year, five women gather to celebrate their birthdays. They celebrate, commiserate, and support each other as they negotiate through marriage, work, divorce, birth, and kids, sure that with enough work—and another drink—they can solve any problem that comes their way. One by one they talk about personal, work, and family issues. Then one shares a surprising secret and the vodka hits the fan. Will Birthday Club—and their friendships—survive?

Birthday Club, by Phil Olsonruns at Meadow Brook Theatre on the campus of Oakland University in Rochester from January 11 through February 5, 2023.

“Birthday Club is a comedy, so there are a lot of laughs,” says Travis W. Walter, MBT artistic director. “But there are also emotional moments that I know our audience members will identify with.”

The cast members include MBT favorites Lynnae Lehfeldt (Cheryl), Debbie Williams (Emily), Tamara PiLar (Abbie), Dani Cochrane (Kathy), and Sara Kmiec (Sarah).

Birthday Club is directed by Travis W. Walter. Scenic design is by Brian Kessler, costume design by Marley Boone, lighting design by Phillip Hall, and sound design by Mike Duncan. Brittanie Nichole Sicker is the stage manager.
