Emily is a would-be writer whose bubble life in NYC has popped. Finding life back home chaotic and unfulfilling, she becomes strangely activated after creating a sassy alter-ego for a radio bit. Told through a playful mixture of live radio, voicemail, and phone calls, Today Is My Birthday is a quirky comedy about life with a thousand friends on Facebook and no one to have dinner with on Saturday night.

I love this. A play told entirely through phone calls/messages and radio, it took me back to the loneliness and uncertainty of my late 20s while at the same time being very funny. ”

I watched Theater Mu's streaming production (2021) and felt like so much great stuff was packed into those two hours that whizzed by. We got to know each of the characters and their relationships intimately even though we saw them interact indirectly using technology. The moment of turning 30 seems perfectly captured. Wonderful script! ”

Had the pleasure of watching a read-through organized by Theater Mu on April 27, 2020. It felt fitting for this play to be performed over Zoom. Strap in for a roller coaster of emotions! A genuinely funny, frustrating, intimate play. ”
