Ernestine Ashworth spends her 17th birthday agonizing over her insignificance in the universe. Soon enough it’s her 18th birthday. Even sooner, her 41st. Her 70th. Her 101st. Five generations, dozens of goldfish, an infinity of dreams and one cake baked over a century. What makes a lifetime…into a life?

“A poignant new play as fearless in scope as it is tremendous in heart” – Broadway World.

This poignant and funny Broadway hit, about the extraordinary moments that make up one woman’s ordinary life, explores the highlights and heartbreaks of 100 years in just 90 minutes.
