Birthday Club, a play by American playwright Phil Olson, will be presented Friday and Saturday March 27 and 28 at 7 PM; Sunday March 29 at 2 PM, at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Westport, 10 Lyons Plain Road, Westport. Plenty of free parking and the building is handicap accessible.

Birthday Club centers on five longtime friends who reunite to celebrate a milestone birthday. The women confront changes in marriage, career, health, and identity while examining what has sustained their friendships over decades. Humor carries the evening, but beneath the laughter lies a current of recognition and tenderness. The story gives space to regret, loyalty, and second chances, revealing the warmth and resilience that shape enduring friendships. A recent review noted, “Birthday Club is more than a play, it’s a party, and everyone is invited to join the fun.”

The production is presented by UU Players, a theater troupe founded in 2008 by Director Emeritus Jim Luongo. The group’s mission is to perform great plays for fun and community enjoyment. This spring’s production is directed by Julyen Norman, and features Angi Haen, Arnela Ten Meer, Joanne Glasser Orestein, Jerusha Vogel and Sarah Bell.

All proceeds go to support UU Westport and its mission: to inspire and support individual spiritual growth; to connect through worship, music, learning and caring ministries; and to act in the service of peace and justice. We are a judgment-free spiritual community that explores together what it means to be human, and how to care for one another with love, grace and justice. Services and children’s programs at 10 AM each Sunday.
