Birthday Candles

Sidekick Theater – Bloomington

Area Premiere Comedy

Wednesday, April 29, 2026

 

         Why not treat yourself or somebody special?  Join Gary Block Tours on Wednesday, April 29th as we travel to Sidekick Theater in Bloomington.  Enjoy a delicious meal and comedy production in a great atmosphere.  We’ll depart from the northeast Little Falls Walmart parking lot at 9:00 a.m. We will start our experience in one of the beautiful dining rooms where the buffet luncheon features creamy chicken breast, with roasted red potatoes, glazed carrots, coleslaw, dinner rolls, assorted desserts, coffee, hot tea and water.  (Special dietary meals available by request at the time you sign up).  Following our delicious lunch, it's over to the theater to enjoy “Birthday Candles”.  The ingredients for the cake are simple: eggs, butter, sugar, salt.  Look closer, tough, and you’ll see the essence of life itself!  Every year, Ernestine bakes a cake and celebrates with her family on her birthday – a delicious ritual that unfolds on stage across 90 years of birthdays.  We meet Ernestine and the people who sweeten her life every year on this day as she grows from 17 to 107 years old.  Through glimpses of Ernestine’s life as the years go by, “Birthday Candles” tenderly explores motherhood, family, love, loss and finding your place in the universe.  This charming new production, recently on Broadway, will warm your soul. What a super way to spend a Thursday in April.  After the show we’ll make a stop at Culvers in Maple Grove, where the staff will deliver the “Flavor of the Day” on-board the bus. We’ll be returning to Little Falls around 6:25 p.m.  Give us a call and sign up today.
